I didn't read the code of z3c.autoinclude, but if I well understood,
it does the following:
Read install_requires dependencies in the order, and for each package
it includes meta.zcml, configure.zcml and overrides.zcml if they
exist.
So I suppose in this case,
five.grok in setup.py's install_requires
and in configure.zcml
<includeDependencies package="." />

is equivalent to

<include package="five.grok" file="meta.zcml" />
<include package="five.grok" />

But indeed, if you indicate explicitly grokcore.view in setup.py's
install_requires, it will include meta.zcml, not meta-minimal.zcml.
But I don't include grokcore.view in setup.py, only five.grok, so I
think it's fine.
