I agree that having this a no-brainer and getting all this *.egg-info
caused bugs solved by a simple dh-python update without changing
packaging code would be extremely convenient.  I could imagine creating
a backup of the affected *.egg-info files if existent and copy these
back in clean target could solve this.

Kind regards
