Comment (by daira):

 Replying to [comment:3 zooko]:
 > Isn't the right fix to tell setuptools (or distribute or "packaging" or
 "distutils" or whatever) that {{{src/allmydata/web/static/img}}} is not a
 package? Packages are for Python code. This is "package data", which is
 not a package. This stuff is kind of finicky and I don't remember all the
 details. ☹

 We already told it that these directories are package_data, so it's a
 setuptools bug that it still prints the warning. However it's not one that
 I particularly care about fixing, since it's easier to work around it.
