Python3-hid was marked `Multi-Arch: same` by a previous maintainer.
Recently,
tracker.debian.org warned that there is an issue because the WHEEL file is
different in each package.
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/python-hidapi
The differences are in the `tag` field in the WHEEL file. For example,
amd64
has:
Tag: cp312-cp312-linux_x86_64
While arm64 has:
Tag: cp312-cp312-linux_aarch64
What is the recommended way to deal with this?\
1. Should the package not be marked `Multi-Arch: same`?
2. Should I prevent the binary package from shipping the WHEEL file?
3. Is there some other recommendation?
It seems like this package probably should just not be marked Multi- Arch:
same. The WHEEL file is likely important metadata.
but why would we ship wheel files in the first place?
In this case Soren's talking about the WHEEL file in the dist-info
directory, not a .whl file.
