This is needed for legacy namespace package support, which is now deprecated, along with the entire
pkg_resourcespackage.I saw recently that
zopepackages which were the last holdouts I was familiar with had switched to new namespace package style, zope.event, zope.interface.Let's start removing it. The main reason is that it requires us to have a setuptools dev dependency, ignore its deprecation warnings and keep it working.
Let's deprecate it and remove in pytest 10.
