Package authors *should* setup a folder in site-packages rather than dumping
their contents into the root.  But, they don't have to.  Other than
providing feedback to the package author or changing it yourself, I'm not
sure there's much else you can do.

You probably know this, but just in case others reading it don't:  This is
all governed by distutils.
