I just saw [Add cwd to sys.path for hooks] and was reminded that this would also be useful (and in fact necessary if hook code is in a package that's under some root other than cwd). On a related matter, the current use of Distribution.package_dir is confusing. Sometimes it's assumed to be a string, though in other parts of the code it's assumed to be a dict to support multiple package dirs--something which I thought was going away.

+1. About packages_root usage: please file another bug. I think new code to deal with packages_root was added, but internally packages_dir was not cleaned up. Another problem is that these arguments affect all modules, not only packages, and are thus misnamed.

Added for packages_root/package_dir cleanup.

I have a patch for this.
