I haven't read the whole thread (no time right now) but this is a pretty standard solution for packaging problems I've had with Debian. If a file (like MANIFEST.in itself) is not included in the sdist, then building the binary package will often fail. I forget the exact symptoms, but it's probably easily reproducible if you care.
