Research direction

Start by reviewing the three linked patches for issue-15403 and the dependency issues, especially the move from test/support.py to the test.support subpackage and documentation for test.support.script_helper. Trace the package-creation support code and its tests, then verify that the helpers have one common location and the relevant test suite passes.
