Does distutils support this kind of setup?

Yes, and it has since its introduction. Just use the dotted name for the extension name.

IOW, I would expect that there are sooo many places where extension modules in packages are not supported that it is just a tiny detail that they don't work in builtin modules (which, as I said, only have top-level modules, anyway).

4Suite has many extension modules that are part of packages and never once has there been a problem reported due to extension modules. The thought that extension modules cannot be in a package has never even cross my mind. I would have thought it a bug if they didn't, FWIW.
