I must have been blind when reading through my MDG last night. I found
what I believe will be my solution.
<activation>
<file>
<exists>src/changes/changes.xml</exists>
</file>
</activation>
Since this is the only module that will have a changes.xml file, this
should do the trick for me. I thought I'd share what I found for posterity.
