Hi,

I was working on the "boostrap-vz" package and noticed something
really annoying when creating a "boostrap-vz-doc"[1] binary package
with its Sphinx documentation: the actual Python files that composes
the application weren't being packaged on the main "boostrap-vz" one.
I had to add "usr/lib/python*/dist-packages/bootstrapvz/" to its
"debian/boostrap-vz.install"[2] to fix this, but I feel this is wrong.
Looking at other Python packages that have separate "-doc" packages,
like "python-django", they don't seem to need this.

Also, its "*.egg-info/" folder also went missing, as we can see with "debdiff":

Files in first .deb but not in second
-------------------------------------
-rw-r--r--  root/root
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bootstrap_vz-0.9.5.egg-info/PKG-INFO
-rw-r--r--  root/root
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bootstrap_vz-0.9.5.egg-info/dependency_links.txt
-rw-r--r--  root/root
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bootstrap_vz-0.9.5.egg-info/entry_points.txt
-rw-r--r--  root/root
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bootstrap_vz-0.9.5.egg-info/requires.txt
-rw-r--r--  root/root
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bootstrap_vz-0.9.5.egg-info/top_level.txt

This broke its entry point scripts (at least I finally find out the
cause of the "pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound" error), so I had to
either add custom ones[3] or add
"usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bootstrap_vz-*.egg-info/" to its
"debian/boostrap-vz.install" file as well.

Any ideas on what I missed here?

Regards,
Tiago.
