So in summary, the /simple index page doesn't need to include any URLs from the long_description that do not have a rel attribute set, or end with one of the fixed set of archive extensions or with "#egg=...".
Such links are ignored, yes. (The 'rel' links are only generated by PyPI, btw, not from the long_description.)
OTOH, I'm not sure what benefit there is to adding code that would specifically filter things down to just those URLs, since adding code always adds the potential for bugs, and the presence of those links is currently harmless.
(Unless of course you're so bandwidth starved that an extra few hundred bytes of link text is a problem... in which case, you could likely save even *more* bytes by stripping off the '<a' tags and their contents, and just serve up a text file with a series of lines reading 'href="..."', since setuptools is actually only looking for href attributes, not the tags that contain them. That would shave a significant chunk of bytes off every page, not just the ones with extra links!)
