Title:
  .whl/.egg support in lesspipe is undocumented

Status in less package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Support for .whl/.egg files (used in Python packaging) was added to
  lesspipe in version 487-0.1 of less[1], but the lesspipe(1) manual
  page was apparently not updated at the time, and does not currenly
  list .whl/.egg as supported file types.

  This looks like a Debian bug, since the manual page was apparently
  written for Debian, but reportbug complains at me when I try to use it
  to submit a bug to the Debian BTS, so hopefully someone who knows what
  they're doing can report this upstream.
