[Python-modules-team] Bug#663256: ipython: Binary package contains GIT files

[Carlos Izquierdo]

Package: ipython
Version: 0.12-1
Severity: wishlist

The following files can be found in current ipython's binary package but shouldn't probably be there:

/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/IPython/.git_commit_info.ini
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/IPython/.git_commit_info.ini

Can they be removed? This of course does not affect the package's functionality at all, but it shows for example in security audits (hidden dot files in lib directory)

Regards,
Carlos Izquierdo
