That makes sense - although it probably also means that .pyc files etc 
may not generated.  I wonder if it might be better to see if we can 
trick setuptools such that we add a dummy package so at least everything 
special it does for packages is also done for these files?

Or maybe we should reach out to setuptools - it might simply be an 
accidentally introduced bug.
