distutils: Every file doubled in binary distri

Hallöchen!

I have a very simple package structure with one directory denoting a
package (with __init__.py file of course).  In my setup.py I write

    ...
    packages=['my_package']
    ...

Then I call "python setup.py bdist_dumb" on ym Linux box.  The
resulting tar ball contains every file twice, e.g.

./usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/my_package/my_module.py
./usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/my_module.py

Why is this?  (The source distri doesn't show this effect.)

Tschö,
Torsten.
