Hi, Please look at https://packages.debian.org/unstable/virtme-ng
python3-pkg-resources is listed. How did that happen? That is indeed not obvious at all. Previously dh-python was translating any "setuptools" dependency into python3-pkg-resources. Now it add a runtime dependency on python3-setuptools. https://sources.debian.org/src/virtme-ng/1.38-2/setup.py#L145 In most cases the solutions is to remove "setuptools" from the "install_requires=" stanza in setup.py. Then this change should also be forwarded upstream.
