Hi, in the upstream GitHub of ipykernel there's this advice concerning the dependency on debugpy:
https://github.com/ipython/ipykernel/pull/767#issuecomment-916913893 "No, it shouldn't be removed in this repo. If a downstream packager wants to split this dependency, it may, but at the same time, it should also make sure to patch the package metadata when doing so to remove the dependency and satisfy pip check." Regards, Jörg.
