They are included by pyproject.toml: ----------------------------8<------------------------------- [tool.setuptools.package-data] "asdf_coordinates_schemas.resources" = ["resources/**/*.yaml"] [tool.setuptools.package-dir] '' = "src" "asdf_coordinates_schemas.resources" = "resources" ----------------------------8<------------------------------- This works find upstream, and also when I build it manually with python3 -m build --wheel --skip-dependency-check --no-isolation --outdir foo And it works if I run a plain "debuild" as ordinary user -- all resource files are included in the .deb. When I build it as root, or f.e. "sudo debuild", or in cowbuilder (or on Gitlab), the data files are not included in the .deb. "sudo python3 -m build..." however includes them, as well as "sudo make -f debian/rules build-indep" Why (and how) does debuild exclude the resources if run as root and how can I enforce them in the package? Cheers Ole
