Howdy all,

The ‘python-coverage’ source package has some special handling of build
and install rules. How can I convince the packaging tools to correctly
handle ‘/usr/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/foo.egg-info/’?

This was brought to my attention by the recent addition of the Lintian
tag “python-module-in-wrong-location”:

    W: python3-coverage: python-module-in-wrong-location usr/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/coverage-4.5.1.egg-info/ usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/coverage-4.5.1.egg-info/
    N:
    N:    The package installs a Python module or debug information for a Python
    N:    module in the wrong location for the given version of Python.
    N:
    N:    dh_python3 can be used to fix this for Python 3 modules.
    N:
    N:    Refer to Debian Python Policy section 2.5 (Module Path) and
    N:    https://bugs.debian.org/576012 for details.
    N:
    N:    Severity: normal, Certainty: possible
    N:
    N:    Check: files, Type: binary, udeb
    N:
    W: python3-coverage: python-module-in-wrong-location usr/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/coverage-4.5.1.egg-info/entry_points.txt usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/coverage-4.5.1.egg-info/entry_points.txt

Which particular of those files are right or wrong, according to the
Debian Python Policy §2.5?

* usr/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/coverage-4.5.1.egg-info/
* usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/coverage-4.5.1.egg-info/
* usr/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/coverage-4.5.1.egg-info/entry_points.txt
* usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/coverage-4.5.1.egg-info/entry_points.txt

How should I change the package's ‘debian/rules’ to conform to Debian
Python Policy §2.5?
