Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that
ludevit could not be built reproducibly.

This is because it ships an .egg file in the binary package that
contains files varying by the current time. A patch is attached that
follows dh-python by specifying --single-version-externally-managed
and --root=/ such that the .egg file is not created.

Patch attached.

eww at all of that. I would strongly encourage using
pybuild-plugin-pyroject for modern Python packages.
(But I haven't looked at this package itself, to see why it is
installing he module by hand the way that it is. Maybe there's a good
reason for that.)

Yup, I fixed this bug by accident. closing
