         Instead, use pypa/build, pypa/installer or other
         standards-based tools.

Option version-string requires an argument
`help2man' generates a man page out of `--help' and `--version' output.

Usage: help2man [OPTION]... EXECUTABLE

  -n, --name=STRING       description for the NAME paragraph
  -s, --section=SECTION   section number for manual page (1, 6, 8)
  -m, --manual=TEXT       name of manual (User Commands, ...)
  -S, --source=TEXT       source of program (FSF, Debian, ...)
  -L, --locale=STRING     select locale (default "C")
  -i, --include=FILE      include material from `FILE'
  -I, --opt-include=FILE  include material from `FILE' if it exists
  -o, --output=FILE       send output to `FILE'
  -p, --info-page=TEXT    name of Texinfo manual
  -N, --no-info           suppress pointer to Texinfo manual
  -l, --libtool           exclude the `lt-' from the program name
      --help              print this help, then exit
      --version           print version number, then exit

EXECUTABLE should accept `--help' and `--version' options and produce output on
stdout although alternatives may be specified using:

  -h, --help-option=STRING     help option string
  -v, --version-option=STRING  version option string
  --version-string=STRING      version string
  --no-discard-stderr          include stderr when parsing option output

The above is just how the build ends and not necessarily the most relevant part.
If required, the full build log is available here:

https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/build-logs/202407/

About the archive rebuild: The build was made on virtual machines
of type m6a.large and r6a.large from AWS, using sbuild and a
reduced chroot with only build-essential packages.

If you could not reproduce the bug please contact me privately, as I
am willing to provide ssh access to a virtual machine where the bug is
fully reproducible.

If this is really a bug in one of the build-depends, please use
reassign and affects, so that this is still visible in the BTS web
page for this package.

Thanks.
