Oops! I did it again?

Well, I sent the merging mail, but didn't get the answer that they
couldn't be merged (differing severity) before I actually uploaded, so
I marked it fixed in this version later.

I just unbroke what was there, and didn't look further.

This PKG-INFO file doesn't appear in the salsa repo for the Debian
packaging because it doesn't appear in upstream's tarball (git import-
orig --uscan), and I just had a look and didn't see it in upstream's
github repo either. Or did I miss it?

I have now looked further : "git blame" says Ximin Luo added it (commit
ab9d454b) and the documented reason is: "Add an .egg-info file so pip
recognises it. (Closes: #880241)" ; so it looks like there was a valid
reason and it's a nice contribution...

If there's something to do to improve the packaging, I'm open to
suggestions (and contributions!).

Cheers,

JP
