Yeh, I believe I was looking at this a number of weeks back.

module policy is treated specially, in setup.py [1]:

class hgbuildpy(build_py):
...
    def run(self):
...
        write_if_changed(os.path.join(basepath, '__modulepolicy__.py'),
content)

Technically, its a packaging bug, as all created files (especially manual ones)
need to be added to the list of output files, so they are included in setup.py
install --record output, which autoplist uses

This is a common issue with packages that do/execute custom things, see
