Ok, I have fixed this in git, but now we are getting a different issue:

«
error: Multiple top-level packages discovered in a flat-layout: ['swig', 'deps', 'debian', 'pocketsphinx_disabled'].
To avoid accidental inclusion of unwanted files or directories,
setuptools will not proceed with this build.
If you are trying to create a single distribution with multiple packages
on purpose, you should not rely on automatic discovery.
Instead, consider the following options:
1. set up custom discovery (`find` directive with `include` or `exclude`)
2. use a `src-layout`
3. explicitly set `py_modules` or `packages` with a list of names
To find more information, look for "package discovery" on setuptools docs.

I have tried to look at the setuptools documentation, but I fail to find
how to just disable automatic discovery. setup.py really does the job of
listing files etc., so I don't understand what's left to make setuptools
not perform automatic discovery, while previous versions of setuptools
were behaving just fine.
