Ubuntu source package for neutron can not be rebuild

[George Shuklin]

Ubuntu's source package for neutron can not be rebuild twice:

1. There is no proper clean target.
2. neutron.egg-info changes after build

That cause problem when package is build twice from same source. 1st build is fine, 2nd cause following errors:

(each type of error cited once)
1. dpkg-source: warning: newly created empty file 'build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/neutron/openstack/common/__init__.py' will not be represented in diff
2. dpkg-source: error: cannot represent change to neutron/__init__.pyc: binary file contents changed

3. dpkg-source: info: local changes detected, the modified files are:
 neutron-2013.2.3/neutron.egg-info/entry_points.txt
 neutron-2013.2.3/neutron.egg-info/requires.txt

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

I presume a workaround is to use sbuild or pbuilder? Assuming that this is the case, I'll set the Importance to Medium as a workaround is available.

Yes, rebuilding from clean sources is working. But still, this is 'broken source package' according to debian guys.
