Bug#1132508: python-bayespy: please make the build reproducible

Source: python-bayespy
Version: 0.6.4+ds-1

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that
python-bayespy could not be built reproducibly.

This was because the package generated an .egg-info directory under
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages, for example:

   /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/bayespy-0.6.4.dev20260331.egg-info

.. which encodes the current build date (eg. "20260331")

Patch attached that deletes this .egg-info directory, which is not very
useful in the binary package.
