The problem is not with other packages importing imp (which need to be fixed in such a case), rather that pyximport (in cython/cython-legacy) imports imp. So it's cython that needs to be patched. I'm wondering what the provisional timescale for cython 3.0.x is? Should I just leave my package with an autopkgtest failure until cython 3.0.x is in unstable or ideally testing? That's why I was thinking of also patching cython in the short term until we are ready for cython 3.0.x to enter unstable. Best wishes, Julian
