New submission from Reid Price:

The last (parenthetical) sentence is not needed.
"(Again, the empty string in package_dir stands for the current directory.)"
because there is no package_dir option in the example.
<------------ Preceding Text ------------>
...
If you have sub-packages, they must be explicitly listed in packages, but any
entries in package_dir automatically extend to sub-packages. (In other words,
the Distutils does not scan your source tree, trying to figure out which
directories correspond to Python packages by looking for __init__.py files.)
Thus, if the default layout grows a sub-package:
<root>/
setup.py
foobar/
__init__.py
foo.py
bar.py
subfoo/
__init__.py
blah.py
then the corresponding setup script would be
from distutils.core import setup
setup(name='foobar',
version='1.0',
packages=['foobar', 'foobar.subfoo'],
)
(Again, the empty string in package_dir stands for the current directory.)
