Description

I have a local sub folder in my project with `actions/actions.py`. I would like to add this to the binary but it seems I'm failing. I tried:

~~~
exe.add_python_resource(exe.make_python_module_source(name="actions", source='actions/actions.py', is_package=True))
~~~

and:

~~~
exe.add_python_resources(exe.read_package_root(path=".", packages=['actions']))
~~~

but this does not work. I cannot find the `actions.py` anywhere in the `lib` folder (I'm using `policy.resources_location_fallback = "filesystem-relative:lib"`, nothing else seems to work). How to package this?

Research direction

Start with the local actions/actions.py module and the exe.add_python_resource(s) calls shown in the issue, then inspect how resources are placed in the lib folder with filesystem-relative:lib. Done means the built binary packages the actions module and the application can locate it from that lib location.
