Yeah, that's because we never got around to making a test case to see if
we were doing the right thing or not.

I think I've fixed that in 
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/tools/dh-python/-/commit/afbc167a10c024ce4890a9d520e6a3ba513494f1

I'll need to do some verification that that doesn't break other
packages. And ideally add some test cases for other build systems.

Note that setuptools deprecated [options.data_files] because it doesn't
work correctly with wheels. But we can do our best to make it work as
much as possible.
