I ran across this general distutils problem as well when writing the
setup.py for Thuban [1] and I derived a new build command just so that I
could have both modules and packages. Overriding find_all_modules and
run was necessary. find_all_modules as MAL described and run so that it
will allow specifying both modules and packages. This has been working
very well in Thuban.
