Research direction
Reproduce the report with the supplied MANIFEST.in and the commands python setup.py sdist and python setup.py bdist, using the linked tastypie-sorl-thumbnail example. Start by tracing how each command consumes MANIFEST.in; done means the listed tests.py and models.py exclusions are honored by both distributions.
