No, MANIFEST.in is used, it's just that setuptools doesn't depend on the MANIFEST file. Distutils by itself can end up with a stale MANIFEST file, so setuptools ignores it. MANIFEST.in, on the other hand, is used as a supplement to any available revision control info. The main problem the OP will have here is that putting multiple distributions in a single directory isn't well-supported by distutils or any distutils-based build systems that I know of at the moment.
