dist-info is completely new to me. I never particularly understood eggs
so I'm sure I'll understand "dists" or whatever it's called now.
There's also a separate document for egg files:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python_Eggs which would
probably need rewriting.

Well, only FPC members can edit pages in the wiki under Packaging:. I
can't imagine that this change would involve a simple s/egg/dist/ so
please do prepare a draft and file an FPC ticket.
