[Python-modules-team] Bug#1002533: wheel: autopkgtest needs update for new version of setuptools: deprecation warning on stderr

Source: wheel
Version: 0.34.2-1
Severity: serious

Dear maintainer(s),

With a recent upload of setuptools the autopkgtest of wheel fails in 
testing when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages of 
setuptools from unstable. It passes when run with only packages from 
testing. In tabular form:

                        pass            fail
setuptools             from testing    59.6.0-1
wheel                  from testing    0.34.2-1
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report. The test 
passes, but a deprecation warning is printed on stderr and autopkgtest 
fails by default on that unless the allow-stderr restriction is used.

Currently this regression is blocking the migration of setuptools to 
testing [1]. Of course, setuptools shouldn't just break your autopkgtest 
(or even worse, your package), but it seems to me that the change in 
setuptools was intended and your package needs to update to the new 
situation.

If this is a real problem in your package (and not only in your 
autopkgtest), the right binary package(s) from setuptools should really 
add a versioned Breaks on the unfixed version of (one of your) 
package(s). Note: the Breaks is nice even if the issue is only in the 
autopkgtest as it helps the migration software to figure out the right 
versions to combine in the tests.
