You have to explicitely enumerate all packages. See the last paragraph  
here:
http://docs.python.org/distutils/setupscript.html#listing-whole-packages

"Keep in mind that although package_dir applies recursively, you must  
explicitly list all packages in packages: the Distutils will not  
recursively scan your source tree looking for any directory with an  
__init__.py file."
