Accordingly, I will now close this bug. If it is now safe to unconditionally delete egg-info directories (or there is another way to make debhelper correctly clean the package automatically), please do not hesitate to let us know.

Bug#652617: Should clean egg-info directory for Python packages
FYI, theres'a a thread on debian-python@ldo on this very subject: https://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2012/05/msg00029.html * Julien Danjou , 2011-12-19, 10:39: When building Python packages, setup.py often creates a PACKAGE.egg-info directory which does not exist in upstream tarball. Therefore debian/rules file is need an override on dh_auto_clean to rm -rf PACKAGE.egg-info. There are simpler ways to overcome this problem than adding an override: 1) Add *.egg-info/* to debian/clean. (This requires compat >= 7.) 2) Add extend-diff-ignore="^[^/]+\.egg-info/" to debian/source/options. (This requires source format 3.0.) The debian/rules file would not need that if dh_clean would be able to automatically remove the .egg-info directory! :) In the past there were cases of silent breakage due to removing *.egg-info: | zope.security (3.8.3-2) unstable; urgency=low | . | * Team upload. | * Use debian/source/options to ignore changes in egg-info directory | rather than debian/clean otherwise zcml and txt files are missing. -- Jakub Wilk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#652617: Should clean egg-info directory for Python packages
Package: debhelper Version: 8.9.13 Severity: wishlist When building Python packages, setup.py often creates a PACKAGE.egg-info directory which does not exist in upstream tarball. Therefore debian/rules file is need an override on dh_auto_clean to rm -rf PACKAGE.egg-info. The debian/rules file would not need that if dh_clean would be able to automatically remove the .egg-info directory! :) -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.1.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages debhelper depends on: ii binutils2.22-2 ii dpkg-dev1.16.1.2 ii file5.09-2 ii html2text 1.3.2a-15 ii man-db 2.6.0.2-3 ii perl5.14.2-6 ii po-debconf 1.0.16+nmu1 debhelper recommends no packages.
