The modules generated by pyuic will probably be the only ones that 
explicitly import the resources module. What would be the point of a 
separate sub-package? From a programming point of view, the only 
namespace that matters is the one provided by the resource system itself 
- and the best place to organize that is the qrc file (it has support 
for aliases, if needed).
