Hi, I'm working on deb/rpm packaging for a terminal monitor of tor relays [1] and running into an issue with the egg-info distutil autogenerates. My project currently installs to the default '/usr/share/pyshared' [2] but according to the debian policy for private python modules [3] it should be installed to '/usr/share' instead (my program is an application and there's no reason for it to be importable by other modules). The problem with doing this is that the egg-info metadata is hardcoded in 'distutils/command/install.py' to be added on install, and having an egg-info file on '/usr/share' causes a lintian error when generating the deb. Also, most things I've been reading seems to say that the package belongs in '/usr/share/pyshared' and that removing the egg-info is kinda evil [4]. Help would be appreciated.
