That's what include_package_data does. You don't need to have both
'include_package_data' and 'package_data={}', because the former is a
replacement for the latter that autodetects based on either MANIFEST.in or
source control. As long as the file is inside a package and is listed
either in the manifest or the source control system, it'll get included.
