Hi,

I'm trying to locally build a fixed version of a buggy package which happens to be installed on the system.

"debuild -b -us -uc" reports:

Successfully built moat_lib_codec-0.2.2-py3-none-any.whl
I: pybuild plugin_pyproject:144: Unpacking wheel built for python3.12 with 
"installer" module
   dh_auto_test -O--buildsystem=pybuild
dh_auto_test: warning: Use of debian/compat is deprecated and will be removed in 
debhelper (>=14~).
I: pybuild base:311: cd 
/src/moat/lib/codec/.pybuild/cpython3_3.12_moat-lib-codec/build; python3.12 -m 
pytest tests

Note the nonexistence of "PYTHONPATH=." in this command line, which causes the test suite to use the installed version, which subsequently fails (that's the whole point of having a comprehensive test suite, after all …).

Is it possible to teach pybuild to do this the right way? I could always add a "override_dh_auto_test" stanza that calls pytest manually, but the whole point of standardized packaging is not having to do stuff like that.

The package is at https://github.com/M-o-a-T/moat-lib-codec/tree/deb (sorry, moving to Codeberg+Salsa hasn't quite reached the top of my TODO list …) if anybody wants to take a closer look.
