Actually what makes pydoc display this instead of the package listing is
an AttributeError thrown:
AttributeError: 'Provides' object has no attribute '__name__'

Adding the name attribute to zope.interface.declarations.Provides
makes the Exception go away and renders the pydoc docs correctly.

I wonder if this is the right way to go or if the __name__ attribute was 
omitted by design.

Thanks for looking into this
Michael
