Incidentally, another alternative is to perhaps install the pydevd-related files into the appropriate subdirectory of the python3-debugpy package, which has pydevd embedded. Anyway, I'm upping the severity of this bug, as it's now pulled python-omegaconf out of testing. I'll happily do an NMU if you'd like me to; the only change I'd make is removing python3-pydevd from the build-dependencies. Best wishes, Julian
