Install `genson/schema/` sub-directory

[jas4711]

Hi. When building this package for Debian, installation into /usr/lib doesn't include the genson/schema/ sub-directory but only the top-level genson/ directory. All of the files ought to be installed by setuptools, since the files in the sub-directory is needed by the genson tool. On the mailing list this was believe to be an upstream problem, so I wanted to raise this. Do you agree? Do you know a fix to this?

@jas4711 Sorry for the slow response. Did you get this figured out? I'm not well-versed in Debian or setuptools, so if this is still an issue, I may need some help sorting through it.

No worries! Yes, this problem still happens, but I was able to work around it by manually installing these files into the right directory:

For other packages in Debian this happens automatically via some magic in upstream code. Alas I'm equally unversed about setuptools and I believe some setuptools file is responsible for making this happen. I suspect the fix is really simple, but someone more familiar with python setuptools needs to help. I'll ask again on the debian list.

@tokarenko ran into the same problem when installing from Git. He fixed it by modifying the manifest file.

@jas4711, if you try that, does it fix the problem?
