Why does it get yet another name? We already have distutils, setuptools, distribute, distutils2... now "packaging"?

We need a unique name for Python 3.3, otherwise third party modules can't be written to conditionally depend on the batteries-included version in 3.3, or a standalone backport for older Pythons.

Guido's already pronounced that it will be 'packaging' in 3.3.
