[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#1095130: Bug#1095130: marked as done (fonts-freefont: please reconsider the python3-pkg-resources build-dependency)

[Alexandre Detiste]

It seems fixed now,
(and should had always been an implementation detail of fontforge)

https://salsa.debian.org/fonts-team/fonts-freefont/-/pipelines/939083

I have seen with other python packages that a no-change rebuild
with newer setuptools is all what is needed to not need
python3-pkg-resources anymore

Which is what I mostly did (an happy accident)
