root configuration parameter and PKG-INFO

[bluetech]

I have a git repository which contains several sub-directories, each with its own setup.py. To get setuptools_scm to work, I thus pass root: '..'. However, when I try to pip install the result of a setup.py sdist, it doesn't find the version. The reason (I am pretty sure) is that it tries to look for PKG-INFO also in .. and doesn't find it.

Is there any way to do this while still keeping the given structure of the repository? If not, maybe it makes sense to disregard root when searching for PKG-INFO?
