Is this purely to avoid the problem solved by Martin von Lewis's PEP to
do with namespace packages?

These all raise the question for me, again:
What's the difference between a distribution and a package?
Which is the one with a setup.py and what is the other one?
If a distribution has a setup.py, then I'm not just having the
distribution names be the same as the module names and be:
distribution_resources
distribution_entrypoints (why is this not part of
distribution_resources?)
distribution_installer
If it's package that has the setup.py, then just replace 'distribution'
with 'package' in the above. If you're splitting these because they
deserve to be independent packages, then why do they need to be tied
together under the 'distribute' name?
