In the specific case of tl.eggdeps, the dependency information is only used to create printable graphs. If this turns out to be slightly incorrect, people would notice if they try to use the packages in question. By the way, just providing this information for .egg files and not for sdists would ensure accuracy of the metadata for that platform/python version.

True (I presume - unless there are also dependencies on the specific OS version or system installation that may affect the metadata).

OTOH, I do think that the users asking for that prefer per-release information, despite the limitations that this may have.

OTTH, if the concerns could be relieved if egg-info would provided for all files that have it, I could provide that as well/instead.
