Help: The package that needs to be packaged into debian has listed itself as a build dependency in pyproject.toml

[Aryan Karamtoth]

Hi team,

I'm currently packaging pytooling [1].



[build-system]
requires = [
  "setuptools >= 80.0",
  "wheel ~= 0.45",
  "pyTooling ~= 8.5"
]

The full pyproject.toml file can be found here [2]

I have encountered a rather weird dependency requirement with the upstream as the upstream's pyproject.toml has this very package that I'm trying to package as a build dependency for the build system like this: I'm quite confused on how to proceed in this case. Should I just keep setuptools and wheel and remove pytooling for the deb package dependencies?
