Apologies about that. My build failed immediately due to the presence
of that file when I started testing, and removing it got the build to
proceed so I could look at the test failures.

That file is not present in their upstream github repository at the
release date of 0.9.37. pypi points to the repo as the definitive
source location so it's my fault for not investigating the pypi
tarball further. If it persists it can obviously always be removed
automatically via d/copyright if desired.
