[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 python-setuptools-protobuf 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.

We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of
python-setuptools-protobuf, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive.

A summary of the changes between this version and the previous one is
attached.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 1083708@bugs.debian.org,
and the maintainer will reopen the bug report if appropriate.

Hi Jelmer,

A no change rebuild using current dh-python
is all what is needed to pick up a correct runtime
dependency on python3-setuptools instead of python3-pkg-resources.

Greetings

Alexandre
