Is there an agreement amongst the interested debian-python

Answering the -IF- will let us move forward to the HOW.
Terminology is really critical here. Eggs are a certain structure
of information: a meta-data system along with library routines
and command line utilities to access them. I agree Debian
should support them.
.eggs are a specific distribution format for Eggs: zipfiles
with included meta-data. Terminology is unclear here: it
*also* is another distribution format: directory ending
in .egg, with the metadata as files inside the directory.
I do *not* agree that Debian should support those.
There is yet another form distribution format for Eggs:
egg-infos. This is what I think Debian should support.

Martin
