Quite aside from whether the changes should be preserved, I don't see
how "from package import submodule" is affected. I ran setup.py
without any problem; I wouldn't have been able to build Python
otherwise. I wrote some simple test cases and didn't have any trouble
with the form you describe.
Can you provide a concrete example? It may be that something other
than the changes mentioned above that is causing you problems.
