[issue12416] packaging does not have hooks callable during distribution removal

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo <merwok at netwok.org> added the comment:

The setup.cfg spec says only this:

> The callables are executed in the order they’re found in the file; if
> one of them cannot be found, tools should not stop, but for example
> produce a warning and continue with the next line.

packaging/commandhooks does not say anything.  I’ll open a bug to add docs and tests about that, and a feature request for the new option to turn warnings into fatal errors.
