 > > 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. ☹

 I particularly care about fixing, since it's easier to work around it.

 Wait, why do you say that it is a setuptools bug?
