This should really not matter at all when packaging for Debian. The source tarball should include a setup.cfg or setup.py file (i.e. be a regular Python sdist), and if not developing on the package, you should never meet PDM. If the upstream sdist is not installable without PDM, this is probably an upstream bug; but my guess is that you chose a Git export instead of a real sdist as orig.tar.gz. -nik
