对于带有手册页和图标的PyPI包，什么是正确的setup.py配置？

Question

我有一个working setup.py文件，手册页和图标文件在从PyPI安装pip后可用，但我刚刚注意到参数data_files已被弃用。以下是我当前的setup.py文件内容：

with open(os.path.join(pathlib.Path(__file__).parent, 'README.md'), 'r') as file_ptr:
    long_description = file_ptr.read()

setup(name='rickslab-gpu-utils',
      version=__version__,
      description='Ricks-Lab GPU Utilities',
      long_description_content_type='text/markdown',

                        'ruamel.yaml.clib==0.2.0',
                        'six>=1.11.0'],
      data_files=[('share/rickslab-gpu-utils/icons', ['icons/gpu-mon.icon.png',
                                                      'icons/gpu-pac.icon.png',
                                                      'icons/gpu-plot.icon.png']),
                  ('share/rickslab-gpu-utils/doc', ['README.md', 'LICENSE']),
                  ('share/man/man1', ['man/gpu-chk.1',
                                      'man/gpu-ls.1',
                                      'man/gpu-mon.1',
                                      'man/gpu-pac.1',
                                      'man/gpu-plot.1'])
                  ]
      )

使用data_files的首选替代方案是什么？或者继续使用它安全吗？我读到它不再适用于Thine，但它肯定适用于python3.7上最新的Thine
