Hi,

Indeed, python3-fontforge most likely need a runtime dependency on
python3-pkg-resources.

I m not trying to cast BTS spells from the phone to clone the bug etc...
it's more important to get a proper understanding.

Maybe the Python Team could chime in with more insights ?

Greetings

Alexandre
