Dear maintainer:

The packages in the affects line all fail to build in a similar way:

E: dh_python3 fs:312: python3-sorted-nearest includes a common build directory name 'tests' as a module. Likely due to a mis-configured build system installing things it shouldn't.

(That's how src:sorted-nearest fails, as an example).

If this is not a bug in dh-python, please clone and reassign to each of the affected packages, possibly
with a brief explanation of what maintainers are supposed to do.

Thanks.

Hi Santiago (2026.10.20_10:33:14_+0000)

This is a new feature in dh-python, detecting likely build
misconfiguration (as the message states).

building sorted-nearest attempts to install:

sorted-nearest-0.0.41+dfsg/debian/python3-sorted-nearest/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/tests
sorted-nearest-0.0.41+dfsg/debian/python3-sorted-nearest/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/tests/test_ties.py
sorted-nearest-0.0.41+dfsg/debian/python3-sorted-nearest/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/tests/conftest.py

That's clearly wrong, and inappropriate.
I note that the version in unstable doesn't include these files, and it
isn't immediately obvious to me where the regression is. Probably in
setuptools.

But the package includes in pyproject:

[tool.setuptools.packages.find]
where = ["."]

That should really have some includes or excludes.

I checked appdata and busco, both have the same issue. Let's assume that
all of these packages are affected.

Hello,

Bug #1151407 in python-threadloop reported by you has been fixed in the
Git repository and is awaiting an upload. You can see the commit
message below and you can check the diff of the fix at:

https://salsa.debian.org/openstack-team/third-party/python-threadloop/-/commit/7f6652ef05f323e047d637ec5063a08c4df8d3b8
Newer setuptools (84.0.0) find_packages() no longer prunes
sub-packages of an excluded parent, so a top-level tests/ directory
was being installed into dist-packages; exclude tests.* explicitly.

Run the upstream test suite with pytest: add python3-pytest to
Build-Depends-Indep and fix two runtime bugs with tornado 6 that the
suite uncovered (IOLoop.stop() from another thread hangs the loop;
exceptions raised by plain submitted functions never reach the
concurrent.futures.Future and hang the caller).
