I used to do that, but a few years ago, I switched to (and generalize in
all of my packages) using this:

$ cat debian/source/options
extend-diff-ignore = "^[^/]*[.]egg-info/"

That's a way more simple, as sometimes, upstream ships an egg-info and
building *modifies* it (and then, nightmare starts...).

Just my 2 cents of experience... :)
