Subject: Please add missing PIL.egg-info
Package: python-imaging
Version: 2.6.1-1

Hello Matthias

I tried to fix python-enable that had a egg-info requirement on "PIL" by
changing it to "Pillow". (#761140)

After a deeper analysis of the code, I could find lines like
"import Image as PilImage" so I guess my fix is wrong. :(

The problem is that python-imaging used to provide
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PIL/PIL-1.1.7.egg-info
in wheezy, and that the compatibility package from pillow doesn't anymore.

This impacts /usr/bin/pytimechart that runs:
pkg_resources.load_entry_point("pytimechart...")
that in turns checks egg-info dependencies on python-enable
that in turns checks the presence of a PIL.egg-info file.

Do you think it would be reasonable to have python-imaging provide a
PIL-something.egg-info file?
Any other idea beside fixing the imports upstream?
