Comment (by warner):

 As y'all know, I'm inclined to delete `_auto_deps.py` and the entire
 contents of `__init__.py`, and move all the dependency data into
 `setup.py`. Back before setuptools became good, we had a lot of defensive
 code to double-check that all the dependencies we actually installed, and
 those checks needed to know the full list of dependencies (from "inside"
 the codebase), so they were stored in `_auto_deps.py` so they could be
 shared with "outside" the codebase (where `setup.py` could use them).

 I think Daira was the last defender of this arrangement, and I don't know
 if she still has an opinion about it. I'd just delete it.
