right now the setuptools variable packages only includes 'mediagoblin'. This causes './setup.py install' or './setup.py build' to only pull in things that are in the package '^{mediagoblin$', and nothing else, like mediagoblin.*}

Only .po files should be there. .mo files can be generated on various stages, including package building or setup.py installation.
