It currently checks for flit:any. I initially thought I could just add
python3-flit:any
and that would just work but I saw python3-flit is not marked `M-A: foreign`.
I suspect depends on setuptools is the reason for that? In that case :any
should be simply
skipped, right?
CC'ing -cross for more advice.
