With the PEP, a "defining package" becomes possible - at most one
portion can define an __init__.py.
For what it's worth, this is a _super_ useful feature for Twisted. We
have one "defining package" for the "twisted" package (twisted core) and
then a bunch of other things which want to put things into twisted.*
(twisted.web, twisted.conch, et. al.).
For debian we already have separate packages, but such a definition of
namespace packages would allow us to actually have things separated out
on the cheeseshop as well.
