Note that the __file__ of the namespace package is not guaranteed to be in one or the other egg, which is why namespace packages must have nothing more in their __init__.py than the boilerplate which declares the namespace.
With system packaged the __init__.py is guaranteed to not even be installed. Try this: $ python setup.py install --single-version-externally-managed --root xxx Also, if there are files alongside the __init__.py, they can cause filesystem conflicts in system packagers. dpkg will refuse to install a package if it would overwrite a file owned by another package.
