Bug Description

Binary package hint: python-setuptools

The python-setuptools package appears to install the 2 following files which are PE32 Windows executables. They should not be installed in /usr/share, and probably not at all on Linux systems...

/usr/share/pyshared/setuptools/cli.exe
/usr/share/pyshared/setuptools/gui.exe

Please remove these from the package as these files are not installed in accordance with the LSB or Debian Policy.
