Because I have defined which *Python* packages I wish to include,
include_package_data trips all over this
by including other Python packages. I thought it was to add packages'
data files? For me it is quite useless since I can't
(to my knowledge) control its choice of files, apart from specifying
exclusion patterns iff exclude_package_data is indeed recognized by sdist?
