I do not yet have a complete picture, but this change plus moving the dh-python dependency away from python3 are still causing ~ 100 FTBFS. And the bigger problem are actually python3-distutils runtime dependencies: Currently they are added only when someone reports a bug, to avoid a large amount of buster-pu updates plus a constant stream of bugs in new packages a stable solution is required for that. cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
