The behavior change came from this CMake merge request: * https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/merge_requests/8538 because the distutils variant is deprecated. > To get the right path for the Debian python3 interpreter, > you need to add 'deb_system': With distutils a generic `plat_specific=True` option was enough to get each platform's preferred behavior. Does every client of Python's sysconfig need to have a big dispatch block that looks up the host platform and memorizes platform-specific arguments? A similar concern was raised here: * https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=998739#22 but never resolved. As a side note, adding `DEB_PYTHON_INSTALL_LAYOUT=deb` to the environment resolves this locally. -Brad
