Dear Maintainer,

python3-setuptools is installing some weird .exe files.

find /usr/ -name '*exe'
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/setuptools/gui-64.exe
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/setuptools/gui.exe
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/setuptools/gui-32.exe
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/setuptools/cli-64.exe
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/setuptools/cli.exe
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/setuptools/cli-32.exe

You have a lintian override to silence the warning:

# Source is included for these files, they can be built in Debian with the
# mingw toolchain, and the are not shipped in the binary, so this is OK for
# Debian.  It is not worth repacking the tarball just for this.

The lintian override suggests that the files are not included in the binary,
which is false, so I guess you are not aware of their presence.

I think easy fix to remove them from the binary.

Best
