I know! ;-)

It's not though...

Using disutils and with the following MANIFEST.in and 
DISTUTILS_DEBUG=true in the environment:

Distribution.parse_config_files():
options (after parsing config files):
no commands known yet
options (after parsing command line):
option dict for 'sdist' command:
   {}
running sdist
Distribution.get_command_obj(): creating 'sdist' command object
checking if setup.py newer than MANIFEST
warning: sdist: standard file not found: should have one of README, 
README.txt
Distribution.get_command_obj(): creating 'build_py' command object
Distribution.get_command_obj(): creating 'build' command object
reading manifest template 'MANIFEST.in'
include buildout.cfg
include_pattern: applying regex r'^buildout\.cfg$'
  adding buildout.cfg
exclude_pattern: applying regex r'^build\.*'
  removing buildout.cfg

d'oh!
