Sometimes you want distutils *not* to install certain files, for instance Dulcinea's scripts. Currently you have to install them to a bogus directory (e.g., /tmp/None) and then delete them. It would be nicer to have a special value for --install-* (e.g., 'None', 'NONE', '/dev/null'), or a set of --no-install-* flags.

I don't understand the use case of that option.

Doesn’t --install-data /dev/null already work?
