We are keeping a "distribute." namespace for all bits. Now maybe one day it'll make it into Distutils, yes. But not now. Also, have a look at PEP 381 (mirroring infratructure for PyPI) In any case, the splitting is occuring *now* and is not written in the stone, so we can talk about this in Distutils-SIG, and improve it with your feedback.
