This should be fixed by https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/10254 This is due to we having to poke distutils internals because Debian patched distutils to produce different results for install directories than sysconfig (the latter was incorrect). Is there now a guarantee that starting with 3.10 sysconfig points to the correct place (I don't remember the details, but it had something to do with dist-packages vs site-packages).
