Bug#981268: marked as pending in lintian

Please identify a Debian package that suffers from the false positive.

dput does, but ignores it with a lintian-override.

`apt-file search egg-info | grep usr/share` gives a longer list.
catkin-lint would be an example that does not ship with a lintian-override.

Thanks for bringing that to our attention. Please identify a Debian
package that suffers from the false positive. We would like to test
your regex. Thank you!

I believe there is still an edge case missing, as Python
applications may have private modules in /usr/share/PACKAGENAME
which also often need an egg-info/ folder.

I suggest the modified regex
