We discussed this at Pycon and agreed that we will not support source-less
deployments by default.  The source file must exist or it will be an
ImportError.

This does not mean source-less deployments are not possible though.  To
support this use case, you'd have to write a custom import hook.  We may write
one as part of the PEP 3147 implementation.  Contributions are of course
welcome!
