True (I presume - unless there are also dependencies on the specific
OS version or system installation that may affect the metadata).
OTOH, I do think that the users asking for that prefer per-release
information, despite the limitations that this may have.
OTTH, if the concerns could be relieved if egg-info would provided
for all files that have it, I could provide that as well/instead.
