lazr is a namespace package, which presents problems for the Debian ecosystem
in Python 2.  Because there would be subpackage contention for ownership on
the lazr/__init__.py file, actually *no* package owns it, and instead the
Python helpers manage that file as needed.  This is solved in Python 3 by PEP
420.
