--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The build was made with "dpkg-buildpackage -A" in my autobuilder
but it also fails in reproducible builds:

https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/pyjwt.html

[ Note: There has been a recent change in debhelper behaviour, the current
  behaviour is the intended one. See Bug #903133 for details ].

Thanks.
