It has 2 roles, both are optional the package may use them or not:
1. Determine the version from VCS tags
2. Determine the list of files that should be shipped in the package.

Yeah, roughly. Binary packages get "data" files included. These are
typically non-Python files inside a Python module.

Source packages get other sources, too.
