Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in sid, your package failed to build
on amd64.

Relevant part (hopefully):

>    dh_auto_clean -O--buildsystem=pybuild
> I: pybuild base:217: python3.7 setup.py clean

> 'build/bdist.linux-amd64' does not exist -- can't clean it

Amazon Web Services, using a clean, minimal and up-to-date chroot. Every
failed build was retried once to eliminate random failures.
