Package: python3 Version: 3.5.1-4 When creating a dist package of a Python project using newest Python 3, it leaves out a bunch of files from the final tarball. The omitted files seem to be random, but they are deterministically the same on every run. Running the same packaging command on Jessie creates an archive that has all the files.
To reproduce, get this repository: https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson I used commit 155f163341, but any recent one should work. Then cd into it and do: python3 setup.py sdist Then look for retcode.c in the resulting tar.gz file. On unstable (i686, virtual machine, both VirtualBox and VMWare): the file is not there. On Jessie (arm, Raspberry Pi): all files are present.
