That's exactly the point, though. The packages are private to this
application, and should not be available for import by other programs.

On the other hand, the Distutils metadata (the ‘foo-1.2.3.egg-info’
directory) should be available for the program.

What I'd like is for the distribution to be installed such that:

* its modules are private (‘--install-lib=/usr/share/FooApp/’), and

* its distribution metadata is discoverable (‘--install-metadata=???’
  except there doesn't seem to be such an option).

I don't know. I would not expect to need to alter how the program is run
in order for it to find its own distribution metadata.
