Description
When running make clean, the process remove the src/allmydata_tahoe.egg-info directory. This shouldn't happen as this directory is distributed within Tahoe-LAFS sources, and make clean should only reset the Tahoe-LAFS directory to a freshly uncompressed state.
This doesn't help in packaging Tahoe-LAFS in distributions like Debian, where tools usually run a make clean before attempting to build. They fail after this first clean, because they detected this directory was removed but is part of the release tarball.
So either make clean shouldn't take care of this directory, or it has to be removed from the release tarball.
