For a general Python package to be picked up, you would need to add a
regular ZCML slug into the etc/package-includes directory of your
instance.

If your package is a namespace package in the 'Products' namespace,
then it will be picked up automatically, once added to the PYTHONPATH.
This is triggered by the "five:loadProducts" and
"five:loadProductsOverrides" directives in your instances site.zcml.
The code for those directives is either in Products.Five or OFS
depending on which version of Zope2 you use.
