New description:

 With the following project layout:
 {{{
 network-bytestring
   network-bytestring.cabal
   Network
     Socket
       ByteString.hscpp
   tests
     ...
   ...
 }}}
 Running configure, build and install works but running sdist results in:
 {{{
 Setup.lhs: Error: Could not find module: Network.Socket.ByteString with
 any suffix: ["gc","chs","hsc","x","y","ly","cpphs","hs","lhs"]
 }}}
 I added some more debug output with the following result:
 {{{
 Setup.lhs: Error: Could not find module: Network.Socket.ByteString with
 any suffix: ["gc","chs","hsc","x","y","ly","cpphs","hs","lhs"] in any of
 these search directories: ["tests"]
 }}}
 My theory is that builds includes "." among the source directories while
 sdist doesn't.

 You can get the repo (with a possibly fixed .cabal file so you need to
 look at the attached file to reproduce the error):

 darcs get http://code.haskell.org/network-bytestring
