That "may" be by intent. "includes" is for modules that are not found by 
the normal dependency tracking. It should not be required unless you are 
doing non-standard importing. I don't think py2app tries to do 
dependency tracking for these.

"packages" should bring in entire packages, however. I find it easier to 
just add an import statement somewhere, if I know I"ll need the module 
(I've needed to do this when code is unpicking, and the objects pickled 
where defined in modules not otherwise used)

Take a look at the archive of this list, this sounds like a familiar 
question. One idea is to make sure you're running py2app from a "clean" 
location -- one where there is just your apps source code, and not 
source from installed packages.
