because there are packages that don't work right if zipped -- so this
gets around that.

I suspect it's because there should be a way to include a particular
module without the whole package. Essentially:
"includes" adds a module to list, just as thought there were an
"import module name" line in the code -- it is used to cover dynamic
imports that won't be caught by walking the code.
"packages" makes na compete copy of the package, and puts it outside
the zip bundle -- this is fro including packages that have auxiliary
files, etc, and/or can't be zipped for other reasons.
It's a big ugly, but I've managed to put packages into the zip with
something like this:
includes = ["package",
"package.subpackage"
"package.subpackage.module1"
"package.subpackage.module2"
]
for some reason (is it a bug? -- or has it been fixed?) doing:
includes = [ "package.subpackage.module"]
puts module in the root, so it's there but can't be imported the same way.
