The way it has been implemented will likely lead to subtle bugs or strange 
exceptions later on.  You can now import the Skencil modules using two 
different absolute module names.  E.g. skencil.Sketch.UI.mainwindow and 
Sketch.UI.mainwindow will now be different modules imported from the same 
python file.  If both names are used in the same problem it's likely to cause 
problems.

Why was the additional root package even necessary?  And why is it 
called "src" in the source tree and not "skencil"?
