[issue14938] 'import my_pkg.__init__' creates duplicate modules

Well, I can try. I have trouble wrapping my head around all the finders and loaders, but I'm slowly understanding what does what.

What I don't know is what the expected behaviour is. Should my_pkg.__init__ be allowed to exist as a separate module (that's backwards-compatible but seems wrong)? Can it exist as a synonym of my_pkg? Should the import attempt raise an ImportError?
