Heads-up: recursive-include in Python 2.7

[Jakub Wilk <jwilk@debian.org>]

I noticed that distutils in Python 2.7 processed recursive-include 
directives differently than older versions. This don't work anymore:

recursive-include foo/ *.py

Instead, you must omit trailing slash from the directory name:

recursive-include foo *.py

I'm not sure whether this change is intentional or not, and to be frank 
I have more interesting things to do that investigating it. Also, this 
change does not affect Debian packages directly, because you normally 
don't run sdist at build time. However, it might badly affect your 
upstreams: if they are not paying attention it may lead to producing 
broken tarballs.

DD-list of affected packages (in unstable) attached.
