For the what's new, I'd like to clarify the purpose of this change.
Is the plan to make __init__.py optional in subpackages in 2.6, and
this warning is a first step toward that?  Or is this just to improve
the error reporting when a directory lacking an __init__.py is found,
and no further changes will be in 2.6?
