I apologise, I hadn't noticed that PEP 426 included terminology definitions.
They were necessary for me to keep them straight in my own head. The original set were a bit odd, but I think the project/release/distribution/archive split has ended up in a reasonable place after a few iterations (it's still open to revisions if anything seems too awkward, though). I don't think the ambiguity of "package" will ever go away entirely, but we can justify that to some degree by noting that distributions mainly serve to get Python packages and modules installed and available for import.
