Package: debhelper Version: 13.11.10 Dear Maintainer,
I'm writing to discuss a change introduced in debhelper 13.10.10: this PR<https://salsa.debian.org/debian/debhelper/-/merge_requests/120> fixes #1048890<https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1048890> by deleting the __pycache__ folder. The __pycache__ folder plays an important role in Python execution. If the pyc files are not included in the package, Python must recompile the source code with every execution, which significantly increases the execution time. For instance, az command execution time increases from 2s to 11s. Considering the impact on performance, I believe that removing the __pycache__ directory may not be beneficial. Could we explore the possibility of reverting this change? Thanks for your time and consideration.
