We have a FTBFS on src:pastescript because its test suite embeds a
FakePlugin Python package, including its .egg-info, and the recent
change to the dh-python clean: target breaks that package.

While we can work around it by temporarily renaming the problematic
directory before the dh_clean call, it would be nicer to have an
explicit mechanism to exclude some paths from the clean analysis.
