pbr should support package_dir

[Zachary Roadhouse]

Our python packages locate source under the src directory instead of under the root directory. This is no problem for setuputils, since it provides the package_dir option. Example:

setup(
    ...
    packages=find_packages('src'),
    package_dir={'': 'src'},
    ...
)

Please add support to pbr for alternative source organization conventions like src that are supported by package_dir. Current behavior of pbr is to include the src dir and everything under it (leading to incorrect package paths).

Have you tried adding the following to your setup.cfg:

[files]
packages_root = src

The source code of our projects is also organized in projectslug/src/projectslug

i.e. there exists projectslug/src/projectslug/__init__.py

In projectslug/setup.cfg, I tried using (as suggested above):

[files]
packages_root = src
packages = projectslug

Strangely, this seems to work if I use "pip install -e projectslug" (setup in develop mode), however fails for a normal install.
