Managements commands in multiple submodules in the same virtual package don't work

[cberner]

If you have commands in two packages, mypackage.A and mypackage.B which are installed from separate egg-link files (develop mode of setuptools), only the commands in the first package will be available at the django command line.

I've attached an example which shows the problem. To try it out, do the following:
1) run "python setup.py develop" in project-A/ and project-B/
2) run "python manage.py command_A" and "python manage.py command_B" in project-C/

Expected: both commands work
Actual: only command_A works

Fixed this in my Github fork: git@…:cberner/django.git commit: be5eb957c2dfeea2ce64888359791d3554ce6607

Added a ​regression test. Let me know if there's anything else that's needed!

I've verified the attached bug demonstration - the fix looks good as pkgutil is more informed about package imports

however testing this is hard - I did some experiments with creating a test local site-packages-like folder with the .egg-link files with relative paths, but didn't work on my first try.

Current tests not working as implemented
