Lintian tag: package-installs-legacy-python-egg-info
Type: information
Description (from lintian-explain-tags)
The package installs .egg-info directory. The modern replacement for
.egg-info is .dist-info. That means the package was possibly built using
the deprecated setup.py install mechanism. This should be usually
converted to pybuild-plugin-pyproject.
Please refer to Bug#1121735,
https://wiki.debian.org/Python/PybuildPluginPyproject, and
https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/stable/history.html#setup-install-deprecation-note
for details.
