For a while my own did, until I realised that tarballs were a better
option. I've also seen distribution entries that have no files at all,
just meta-data.

My point is that it needs to be realised that *if* a distribution isn't
providing tarballs, that's not because PyPI has failed; it makes no
guarantee that *any* distribution files are downloadable. Therefore one
should not rely on them being available.
