Comment:

Tentatively accepting.

Please focus first on producing a build that differs in no way from our
existing manifest. Please include a before and after manifest of the
packaged files with the PR. Then in subsequent commits we can make tweaks,
e.g. to remove the scripts directory, see
[https://forum.djangoproject.com/t/avoid-packaging-scripts-folder/43296
forum].
