Thanks, that whole page is a good start. I'll consult it often.

The page says:

    Adding "egg support" is only required in some specific cases: when
    another software uses the python module via an egg and when this
    egg support is not yet integrated upstream."

What is meant by "this egg support is not yet integrated upstream"?
Does this refer to the "upstream" of the package which depends, or the
packages upon which it depends, or both? What would need to be done
upstream for this criterion to change?
