Package: lintian Version: 2.127.0 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-CC: [email protected]
I think that Lintian should issue a tag for the presence of /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/*.egg-info files/directories. The modern replacement is *.dist-info. There is probably the occasional exception, but the vast majority of these are generated by Python packages that are built using the old `setup.py install` mechanism, which is deprecated (https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/stable/history.html#setup-install-deprecation-note) and due for removal at some point; those packages will then most likely FTBFS. They should normally be converted to pybuild-plugin-pyproject as described in https://wiki.debian.org/Python/PybuildPluginPyproject.
