Package: dh-python Version: 6.20240310 Severity: important I'm sure I'm not alone in having a request [1] to ensure a package builds without legacy python3-distutils. However, sra-sdk, for one, uses dh-python, which still depends on python3-distutils. As such, removing the explicit build dependency wouldn't yet break anything, but I can't readily tell what would happen with python3-distutils actually out of the picture. Consequently, I'd appreciate it if dh-python could please go ahead and either downgrade or outright remove its dependency on python3-distutils to facilitate determining what actually still needs it.
Thanks!
