distutils.sdist.add_defaults adds the Python modules and scripts and C extensions found in setup.py to the MANIFEST. It does not add data_files mentioned in setup.py to the MANIFEST. This is non-orthogonal and confusing, because it means that a MANIFEST.in is required if you have data_files, optional if you do not. If you have data_files and do not have MANIFEST.in, you get a broken package but no error.
