Package: dh-python Version: 5.20230130 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: pradyu...@gmail.com
PEP-376 specifies an informational INSTALLER file for .dist-info directories: https://peps.python.org/pep-0376/#installer Currently pyproject built packages, installed via python3-installer won't have any INSTALLER file. Other Debian packages may have things in INSTALLER, based on the way they were built or installed (for example python3-typeshed lists "pip" everywhere). The pip project proposes that we write a record in there for Debian-packaged Python modules. That could be the string "debian"? At the moment, I don't think this would affect much, but it would give python installers more information about what's going on. In pip's case, it can disable its own "outdated version of pip" notifications when it detects that it wasn't installed by pip. That allows us to drop a patch in pip. SR
