#3813: There is a large amount of dynamic package-related code in Tahoe-LAFS
---------------------+---------------------------
 Reporter:  exarkun  |          Owner:
     Type:  defect   |         Status:  new
 Priority:  normal   |      Milestone:  undecided
Component:  unknown  |        Version:  n/a
 Keywords:           |  Launchpad Bug:
---------------------+---------------------------
 * setup.py is 427 lines
 * _auto_deps.py is 90 lines
 * around 25 lines of __init__.py are dedicated to dynamic version
 discovery

 This complexity is probably not necessary.

 * setup.py can be replaced by setup.cfg
 * _auto_deps.py is ... unused?  And can just be deleted?
 * dynamic version discovery can be handed off to a tool like
 setuptools_scm
