I don't think the generated dependencies, as provided, violate the
python policy. The modules are shipped in a directory outside sys.path,
and byte-compiled by a specific application.

Furthermore, this is done in the spirit of some "TODO" sections of the
policy. Of course the policy needs to be updated, but does this really
mandate a RC bug?
