Control: tags -1 fixed-upstream patch
This was probably triggered by python-attrs 24 removing the temporary
tuples from __eq__ (for efficiency):
https://sources.debian.org/src/python-attrs/24.2.0-1/CHANGELOG.md/#L46
This means that comparing an object to itself is no longer automatically
True but compares the fields normally, causing an infinite recursion
loop through _arg / _arg_for.
Upstream switched to dataclasses in
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libei/-/commit/dbc06510a115241fcfd07de49c0b991cad633721
which probably avoids this.
(Dataclasses also remove the temporary tuples from __eq__ in Python
3.13, but re-add an explicit check for object identity to deal with this
case, https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/116647 .)
Alternatively, if you want a smaller (but untested) fix:

(Also, unrelated to this bug: your Vcs-Git points to a repository you
haven't used for several releases, which is why I'm not sending this as
a merge request.)
