What version(s) of Python 3 do you have installed? For example, do you
have python3.9-minimal installed, or something like that?

This is new syntax in Python 3.10, but Debian >= 12 only supports Python
3.11 or newer, so that syntax shouldn't be a problem...

Looking at the generated game-data-packager.postinst, I see it invokes
pypy3compile. Could that be the problem here? Do you have pypy3 installed?
