[Python-modules-team] Bug#744741: Where to ship PySide's egg-info?

I've prepared a version[1] of PySide that includes the egg-info files needed in
the ``python-pyside`` binary package, by incorporating pyside-setup[2] and
calling ``python setup/setup.py egg-info``.

Is this the right approach? It means we'll only ship this metadata in the main
``python-pyside`` package — installing just one submodule would be
insufficient. 

So for an application like ``yubikey-piv-manager``, the dependency would need to
change from ``python-pyside.qtgui, python-pyside.qtnetwork`` to ``python-
pyside``, thus greatly increasing the install size.
