Note that there is no such thing as a "defining namespace package" -- namespace package contents are symmetrical peers.
With the PEP, a "defining package" becomes possible - at most one portion can define an __init__.py.
For what it's worth, this is a _super_ useful feature for Twisted. We have one "defining package" for the "twisted" package (twisted core) and then a bunch of other things which want to put things into twisted.* (twisted.web, twisted.conch, et. al.). For debian we already have separate packages, but such a definition of namespace packages would allow us to actually have things separated out on the cheeseshop as well.
