Packaging google-cloud-python

[Michael Fladischer <michael@fladi.at>]

Hi,

I'd like to package several client modules from the google-cloud-python 
repo[0]. The problem ist, each client module includes google/__init__.py 
and google/cloud/__init__.py, so installing two ore more of these 
modules would cause conflicts.
My idea to tackle this was to introduce some sort of base package that 
just includes those two files and have all the individual client 
packages depend on this one.
This brings me to the next problem: Upstream does not provide such a 
base package. Would it be acceptable to make a debian-only base package 
with no upstream, pulling those to files from one of the upstream packages?
Or are there any other options?
