Perhaps instead of zero with a tooltip, you could just say "N/A" for
releases that don't list any files -- or just exclude the download line
altogether.

Done, e.g. http://pythonpackages.com/info/cdecimal



You do, after all, know whether a release has any files from its PyPI
data, so you do know the difference between "zero downloads" and
"unknown downloads".


Well, it's a package that exists for which the API reports zero downloads. That means either there has been no release yet, or the package does not host its releases on PyPI, IIUC.
