Hi Matthias (2025.10.26_09:42:39_+0000)
For alternate (build-)dependencies like

 'tomli>=2.0;python_version<"3.11"',

dh-python generates dependencies like

 python3-tomli (>= 2.0) | python3 (< 3.11)

forcing the installation of python3-tomli, although that is not needed. With that we keep all dependencies on "deprecated" packages which are not needed anymore.

Please can we revert that order

Would reversing it always be the right thing to do? It seems unlikely.

or even drop it, if the python3 version is just too old.

We do that. Currently 3.9 is our "too old" limit. Probably time to bump that...

Stefano
