This is one of the major things being worked on at the moment - initially, putting the documentation together in one place (http://python-packaging-user-guide.readthedocs.org/en/latest/) and eventually having a more "unified" build process, but that's some way off. Experience and feedback like yours is immensely useful in making sure things are documented in a way that is accessible to newcomers (most of us round here are a bit too close to the problem to know what's needed :-)). So many thanks for taking the time to post your experiences.
