honestly I don't wish such a change leading to have documentation in a
place where only code should be... There is no actual documentation
support in distutils yet, and IMO the current way it's handled is fine:
with source distribution users will have to handle documentation
themselves from the extracted directory, while with "packaged" distribution
(.deb, .rpm...) users get doc installed in the correct place according to
their system.

I'm ccing python-projects so that others can comments if they have an
opinion about this.
