Package: lintian
Version: 2.110.0
Severity: normal

Hi, I see lintian 2.110 is now emitting a
package-contains-python-dot-directory tag for .egg-info directories in
binary packages.

We do not want to encourage package maintainers to remove .egg-info
directories from their Python binary packages. Tools inspect these to
know which Python modules are available on the system, as well as many
other things.

I would consider all of these tags to be incorrect:
W: python3-bs4: package-contains-python-dot-directory usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/beautifulsoup4-4.10.0.egg-info/
W: python3-bs4: package-contains-python-dot-directory usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/beautifulsoup4-4.10.0.egg-info/PKG-INFO
W: python3-bs4: package-contains-python-dot-directory usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/beautifulsoup4-4.10.0.egg-info/dependency_links.txt
W: python3-bs4: package-contains-python-dot-directory usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/beautifulsoup4-4.10.0.egg-info/requires.txt
W: python3-bs4: package-contains-python-dot-directory usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/beautifulsoup4-4.10.0.egg-info/top_level.txt

Thanks,

SR
