I've change that behavior in Distutils (in Python trunk (2.7/3.2) ) Now all files mentioned in package_data will be included by default without having to write a MANIFEST.in file, and without having to use the magic behavior based on DVCS. Until then, I would recommend using an explicit MANIFEST.in and stick with plain Distutils options, so you don't rely on any VCS, and you don't add files by accidents, that are in your repository, but that you don't want to see added in your release. Distribute 0.7.x will probably stick with Distutils upcoming default behavior.
