Hello there,

thanks for the report. To be precise, src:python3-certbot-dns-desec depends 
*transitively* on python3-pkg-resources, via it's build-dependency on
python3-setuptools. I would suggest for this information to be made precise in 
other similar reports.

I'll look into trying to fix this.

Best,
OdyX
