I just checked and the last binary I built was done with the
resourcepackage __init__.py still in place, yet I don't get the error.
I think you are probably still correct on the problem, though.  There is
a good chance that I ran from source at least once since I last modified
any of the resources, so the .py files would have gotten updated then.
Would that cause resourcepackage to not try to regenerate?  Try running
from source first and then rebuilding the binary to see if you still get
the error.

This definitely should be done for a release version.
