Nope, it's a distutils feature: http://docs.python.org/dist/manifest.html

Did you release the egg from a SVN checkout, or a SVN export? I
haven't experimented with this, but that's my current hypothesis, that
setuptools behaves differently then; that or a dev egg has been
created in a buildout and the .egg-info dir contains more information.

It's how I solved the same problem recently with the release of
collective.captcha; the upload to pypi didn't have anything but the
README.txt and the python code; other text files and zcml were
missing.

Perhaps there is something different going on then; as I stated, I saw
what appears to be the same problem and it was solved by including a
MANIFEST.in.
