Hi,

I have been maintaining a package used by users of our gpib adapters and
seems the python bindings for the libgpib0 C library stopped working at
some point during the bookworm updates.

Here is how the rules file currently looks: https://github.com/lightside-instruments/gpib-debian/blob/debian/4.3.6-lsi4/debian/rules


The relevant section is:

...

install:

...

python$$pyvers setup.py install --prefix=/usr
--root=$(CURDIR)/debian/tmp --install-layout=deb

...


This ends up not working correctly. I also tried creating a pybuild
based package of only the python bindings to the library which worked.
Here is how the layout differs.


Not working:

dpkg -c python3-gpib_4.3.6-lsi4_armhf.deb

...

-rw-r--r-- root/root      2156 2024-07-23 10:50 ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gpib-1.0-py3.11-linux-armv6l.egg/Gpib.py


Working(pybuild):

dpkg -c gpib/linux-gpib-user/language/python3-gpib_1.0-0_armhf.deb

...

-rw-r--r-- root/root      2156 2022-11-30 16:20 ./usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/Gpib.py



I wonder if the original command line in debian/rules can be changed so
that it still works or is the only way to go forward is a separate
package building only the python package with pybuild?
