Package: libdebhelper-perl Version: 13.20 Severity: wishlistThe python_distutils buildsystem is marked as deprecated as of compatibility level 12, in favour of pybuild (which the Python team uses basically everywhere). However, as far as I can see it's been totally non-functional since Python 2 was removed from unstable/testing in 2022: it starts by trying to run pyversions, which no longer exists. Given that, I'm not sure the usual deprecation and compatibility-level rules apply. Would it perhaps be less confusing to just remove it entirely? Thanks, -- Colin Watson (he/him) [cjwat...@debian.org]
It was re-introduced to due massive regressions (caused by packages requesting the build system and then proceeding to "not use it" via overrides).
Reopening to make that clear Best regards, Niels
