[This bug is targeted to the upcoming trixie release]

The package build-depends or depends on python3-pkg-resources, which is
deprecated upstream. Details can be found at

https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html

Use of pkg_resources is deprecated in favor of importlib.resources,
importlib.metadata and their backports (importlib_resources, importlib_metadata).
Some useful APIs are also provided by packaging (e.g. requirements and version
parsing). Users should refrain from new usage of pkg_resources and should work
to port to importlib-based solutions.

Python 3.12 in unstable provides both importlib_resources and
importlib_metadata, so no additional dependencies on those packages are needed.

The devede package still uses the pkg_resources module.

Raising the severity of this issue. At the end of the
year 2025, raising the severity again to serious.

If the package is a namespace package, then please lower
the severity again to normal.
