New description:

 When running `make clean`, the process removes the `src/allmydata_tahoe
 .egg-info directory`. This directory is distributed within Tahoe-LAFS
 sources, which is inconsistent with the fact that `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.
