The packages section in the tutorial (6.4) could be 
more explicit about the fact that top-level packages 
are supposed to be direct subdirs of dirs on sys.path.

It seems that is this not stated explicitly.

The section seems to come straight from the 
packages' essay, which  in the whole made that clear.

Raymond:  I'd say the subdirectory is the package, not that
it contains the package.  If you can adjust the language for
that, go ahead and check this in for r22-maint and the
trunk, and close the report.

Thanks!

Eliminated 'contains' wording and committed
as tut.tex 1.175 and 1.156.4.1.2.14
