Perhaps it's best to focus documentation improvements on
"doc/source/package.rst" until this issue can be resolved. The result
of processing "doc/source/package.rst" is what currently ends up at
http://docs.scipy.org and "faces the world".

As far as I can see, it looks like the contents of "package/info.py"
will need to be maintained by hand. Unless Sphinx processing becomes
part of the regular build process? However, I doubt  that complicating
the build would be worth avoiding the maintenance effort.

In any case, I don't think the content in "package/info.py" and
"doc/source/package.rst" needs to contain an excessive amount of
explanation and narrative - that surely belongs in
"doc/source/tutorial/package.rst"?

Cheers,
