I think this rather obscure failure mode is a regression caused by
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/tools/dh-python/-/commit/7ec093d4c9f51f8f500fe5c1c50dc8c4def9ced6.
Before that change, an empty line was silently ignored (albeit perhaps
accidentally - it would have happened because exists(src_dpath) and
exists(dst_dpath) were both true), while now it causes an exception at
`name, *rest = entry.split(maxsplit=1)`.
I'll remove the blank line from debian/pybuild.testfiles in this package
anyway, but I think most people would expect a blank line there to have
no effect. Probably the assignment to files_to_copy a few lines up
should ignore it.
