Hello, I'm another Debian developer co-maintaining Django in Debian.

The PR itself only works by accident, there are also files in We can always add many exceptions but in the end any distro packager wants to avoid exceptions as we want to automate as much as possible installations of Python modules (and update to new upstream versions to make them quickly available to users). There's a case to be made that the whole process should probably not loose the information coming setup.py but I'd argue that this information is not really useful information for packagers until it's properly stored in the filesystem by the module installation process. And I would also argue that this would then need to be fixed at the Python level so that Data is actually stored in separate directories (/usr/share/something) and not mixed up with Python code. All in all, I believe our request to be reasonable and I would like you to consider applying Chris's PR or similar code.

I find it weird to have such feelings when you go to such lengths to implement a very nice LTS support policy for Django itself.
