Thanks for spotting this. I did not see it when looking there.

The core reasons is that the code for creating the "dblatex" script
strips the root path, which in our case is "/". (dblatex's setup.py
still uses distutils and thus has to create the script by itself. The
feature for creating scripts os one of  setuptools' features.)

So possible solutions are disable setuptools (like you did) of hacking
setup.py. Since dblatex is a program and not a package to be imported,
disabling setuptools is absolutely okay and I would not call it a
workaround but a solution :-)

Are you going to update the comment?

I've committed a workaround in 3cc0342b45406f97d675266cc9ac7877be855122.

There is a bug in the 'dblatex' setup.py manifesting when using the new
python-build-system. I don't know what causes it, but the problem seems
to be that the store paths in out/bin/.dblatex-real are wrong:
