I had a similar problem when setuptools_scm kicked in during the build process and produced versions different from the orig tarball. Packaging is in git and tarballs are imported from PyPI. I disabled the automatic versioning with https://salsa.debian.org/tryton-team/python-csb43/-/commit/e8788e09818948231a48cc1472a5f54444b65fcc Could you confirm this is the right approach or is there a more elegant way?
