I'm marking this bug as serious because I don't think we want a clearly broken package in bullseye. I don't have much time to work on it right now, so I'm tagging this bug as "help" and would appreciate if someone could take another look and check if it's possible to fix it, or if it even makes sense having this package in Debian, given that python-build seems to depend on downloading things via pip and all... The only reverse-dependency of python3-build is check-manifest, which is another package I've uploaded, and nothing really depends on it, so I'm fine if nobody steps up to fix this bug and both packages are excluded from bullseye.
