Historically, this was required for at least two reasons:
- Package hint file were all named setup.hint, so couldn't co-exist in
the same directory
- Since hyphen-digit sequences in package names weren't yet forbidden, a
directory named after the package was used to disambiguate where to
split the package name and version
