We do have informational PEPs for the purpose Armin is describing, but
we usually only try to use those for standardization of things.

I don't think a standard project dir layout is really needed. Helping new
package authors finding the right structure for their project does
help, though.

Perhaps the idea could be turned into a section of the (distutils)
documentation, a how-to or a page on the wiki ?!
