Can reproduce this issue.

I tried downgrading dh-python until it no more FTBFS. It doesn't FTBFS
with dh-python 5.20211114 and the first version it FTBFS is 5.20211213.
The changelog entry of 5.20211213 contains these potential causes, at
least from my point of view:
* Handle dist-info extra sections the same way we do for requirements.txt.
(closes: 998374)
* Add new pep517 plugin that uses python3-build + python3-installer to build
Python modules as wheels and then unpack the wheel. This is the new
interface used by modern Python packaging tools. (Closes: #984824)
Full entry (in cases something didn't look suspicious to me) at
https://packages.qa.debian.org/d/dh-python/news/20211214T010008Z.html
Florian: Any idea which of these might have broken this?
And is the suggestion to add "dataclasses python3-dataclasses" line to
debian/py3dist-overrides something we should simply do or is this an
issue which we should make the dh-python maintainers aware of? I must
admit, I still don't understand what this is dh-python argues about.
Maybe someone has some more Python insight for a non-pythonista?
Regards, Axel
