This discussion is confusing because we are either talking about a
general plugin discovery mechanism for Python, or a plugin mechanism
that packaging itself uses.
After the patch, entry_points.txt (which you are encouraged to write
yourself) is copied by means of a new {dist-info} category using the
resources = mechanism in packaging. This is a straightforward way to
copy anything into the .dist-info directory. Apart from copying the
file, 'packaging' has no role.
setup.cfg:
[files]
packages = mypackage
resources =
entry_points.txt={dist-info}
That's all there is to it.
