Depends: python3-pkg-resources | python3-supported-max (<< 3.12)


pyproject.toml reads:

dependencies = [
     "numpy>=1.21",
     "cffi",
     "setuptools; python_version >= '3.12'",   # cffi with compilation 
support requires setuptools
     "fenics-basix >= 0.9.0, <0.10.0",
     "fenics-ufl >= 2024.2.0, <2024.3.0",
]


so apparently this is dh_python misbehaving ...

anyway, I can't see any references to pkg_resources or setuptools in the 
code.
