What's going on there? $ cat debian/python3-pyrle/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pyrle-0.0.42.dist-info/top_level.txt build debian graphs pyrle tests $ cat debian/python3-pyrle/usr/lib/python3.14/dist-packages/pyrle-0.0.42.dist-info/top_level.txt debian graphs pyrle tests So, dh_python3 couldn't merge them because they differed and it didn't know how to handle that. Why did they differ? pyproject.toml contains: [tool.setuptools.packages.find] where = ["."] That's very broad, it's trying to say everything it can find in the source directory is part of the package. This is including the debian directory, tests, test data, and a temporary build directory. This is all wrong. I'd suggest patching pyproject.toml to be a little more selective. I think that file should only contain "pyrle". Then there's also: W: dh_python3 fs:143: Paths differ: debian/python3-pyrle/usr/lib/python3.14/dist-packages/.hypothesis/constants/f31ba8925e528ce5 and debian/python3-pyrle/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/.hypothesis/constants/f31ba8925e528ce5 W: dh_python3 fs:143: Paths differ: debian/python3-pyrle/usr/lib/python3.14/dist-packages/.hypothesis/constants/b66b8480a5e12b45 and debian/python3-pyrle/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/.hypothesis/constants/b66b8480a5e12b45 W: dh_python3 fs:143: Paths differ: debian/python3-pyrle/usr/lib/python3.14/dist-packages/.hypothesis/constants/2007fed8db62a98f and debian/python3-pyrle/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/.hypothesis/constants/2007fed8db62a98f W: dh_python3 fs:143: Paths differ: debian/python3-pyrle/usr/lib/python3.14/dist-packages/.hypothesis/constants/1de211b74552257e and debian/python3-pyrle/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/.hypothesis/constants/1de211b74552257e W: dh_python3 fs:143: Paths differ: debian/python3-pyrle/usr/lib/python3.14/dist-packages/.hypothesis/constants/67b0a8ccf18bf5d2 and debian/python3-pyrle/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/.hypothesis/constants/67b0a8ccf18bf5d2 W: dh_python3 fs:143: Paths differ: debian/python3-pyrle/usr/lib/python3.14/dist-packages/.hypothesis/constants/da39a3ee5e6b4b0d and debian/python3-pyrle/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/.hypothesis/constants/da39a3ee5e6b4b0d You don't want to be shipping .hypothesis.
