Is it not possible to distribute an empty db package which is then populated with various database eggs (or other similar installation things)?

I don't think I understand your question.

If you are asking whether it's possible to have Java-like "namespace packages" in Python, the answer is yes. The stdlib module "pkgutil" supports this for regular filesystem packages, and the "pkg_resources" module in setuptools extends this support to zipfiles and eggs.
