We can end this discussion. Upstream (the experts) replied to my bug
report[1]. They are going to delete the entire foo.egg-info directory
(on setup.py clean). setuptools/distribute at the moment doesn't have
any cleanup functionality. setup.py clean currently is from python's
(standard library module) distutils and hence doesn't clean up after
setuptools/distribute's additions/mess.
