It makes sense.  The construction pretty much looks like the
latter is supposed to be a Python submodule of the former.

A mention about the interdependency in d/README.source may help,
but getting dask.distributed autopkgtest to not be flaky anymore
would prevent migration of a mismatched distribution to testing,
and raise some alarms in the maneuver; that is, assuming version
mismatch is going to cause test failures in dask.distributed in
every cases.

Okay, I pushed my work in progress on Salsa, so anyone can build
on top of it.  In the meantime I can change target and see to
move dask.distributed forward.

Thank you for your time putting the additional context!

Have a nice day,  :)
