Issue packaging python lib into RPM due to conflicting __init__.py

Hi folks,
I'm attempting to make an RPM of the Python package backports.lzma for
a One Laptop Per Child project using bdist_rpm.

tar xzf backports.lzma-0.0.2.tar.gz
cd backports.lzma-0.0.2
python setup.py bdist_rpm

My problem is that more than one python library wants to live under
the "backports" directory, resulting in a backports/__init__.py file
conflict on SOME platforms as each RPM attempts to create the
backports/__init__.py file in its parent directory.

For example, backports.lzma RPM conflicts with
python-backports-ssl_match_hostname

file /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/backports/__init__.py from
install of backports.lzma-0.0.2-1.armv7hl conflicts with file from
package python-backports-ssl_match_hostname-3.2-0.3.a3.fc18.noarch

I am uncertain how to resolve this.  Is there a way for an RPM to only
create the backports/__init__.py file if it does not already exist?
There are a number of packages which would want to live under the
backports/ module.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks,
Braddock Gaskill
