Package: dh python
Version: 5.20220819
I am curently in the process of trying to fix numpy in raspbian bookworm.
Which had become uninstallable due to a dependency on libpython3.9. To
avoid a build-dependency loop, the first step of that process was doing
a build of numpy with nodoc and nocheck
While doing so I ran into the following error.
W: dh_python3 fs:146: Paths differ:
debian/python3-numpy/usr/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/numpy/core/lib/libnpymath.a
and

Reading the code, this is clearly caused by applying diff code that
assumes text, presumablly in the encoding from the current locale
to arbitrary files, there is already code to exclude .so files from
the diff, but other files will be treated as text causing
dh-python
As a quick fix so I could proceed with what I'm doing I made it also
exclude .a files from the diffing, but throwing a text differ at arbitrary
files of arbitrary size does not seem a great idea to me.
Debdiff for the quick fix is attatched.
