Thanks for the feedback, Josh. The Python 3 version of the distutils documentation is far improved on this topic, I believe (though please, file a bug / change if you can improve it :)
https://docs.python.org/3/distutils/sourcedist.html#manifest The setuptools documentation is part of the repository at https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/src in the docs directory, so you could file a bug against that project, or even submit a pull request to it if you're comfortable with that. I believe it would be sensible to redirect from the distribute documentation to setuptools... what does distutils-sig think? I also noticed that the setuptools project front page (aka the README) still promotes easy_install - should that be updated?
