In most other cases redundant extra stuff gets installed that's only needed at build time, such as dh-python and setuptools in this case. In addition, python packages that run tests at build time typically have the full set of module dependencies as build-deps that one also expects to find as deps on the (main) binary pkg. For such packages, using @builddeps@ causes dependencies of the package being tested to get duplicated as test deps, meaning any missing ones - for example resulting from a packaging or helper application bug - could easily be overlooked. After all, the autopkgtest would pass even for a severely broken binary package with all python deps missing. > Please let me know if the package is ready for the upload. The debhelper compat level could do with a bump to the current version. Other than that, things look fine. > Also, happy new year 2022 to all the people on the list! Indeed!
