So this is perhaps the disconnect: I did not say the metadata should
move: it should be in the private directory - it has to be adjacent to
the packages/modules its describing, since if it is present but the
package/module is not that is at the very best confusing for tools
like pip.

That private directory must be on the python search path when running
the application (or the modules can't be imported).
