I have sent him a few mails and bugs asking about it, but I haven't heard anything back. Anyone know why he did it? I have a package that currently FTBFS because of it. :( python-setuptools (39.0.1-2) unstable; urgency=medium * Make the PKG-INFO output reproducible (Chris Lamb). Closes: #894215. * Stop shipping the easy_install scripts. -- Matthias Klose Mon, 02 Apr 2018 11:46:01 +0200
