data_files copied to weird location when installed through setuptools

[loathingKernel]

Data files are copied to a weird path when installed throught setup tools as shown by the following log

running install_data
creating /tmp/makepkg/vitables/pkg/vitables/usr/*
copying ANNOUNCE.txt -> /tmp/makepkg/vitables/pkg/vitables/usr/*
copying ChangeLog.txt -> /tmp/makepkg/vitables/pkg/vitables/usr/*
copying INSTALL.txt -> /tmp/makepkg/vitables/pkg/vitables/usr/*
copying LICENSE.txt -> /tmp/makepkg/vitables/pkg/vitables/usr/*
copying README.txt -> /tmp/makepkg/vitables/pkg/vitables/usr/*
copying VERSION -> /tmp/makepkg/vitables/pkg/vitables/usr/*

Installed by running

python setup.py install --root="/tmp/makepkg/vitables/pkg/vitables" --optimize=1

The expected location would be something like /usr/share/doc/vitables depending on the distribution.

In the 3.0.3 version setuptools is not required. Packages are built via hatch.
