Guido found out that I had misunderstood the existing pkg mechanism: If a "zope" package is imported, and it uses pkgutil.extend_path, then it won't glob for files ending in .pkg, but instead searches the path for files named zope.pkg.
IOW, this is unsuitable as a foundation of PEP 382. I have now changed the PEP to call the files .pth, more in line with how top-level .pth files work, and added a statement that the import feature of .pth files is not provided for package .pth files (use __init__.py instead).
