- setuptools aims to a build library instead of being invoked by setup.py. Launching setup tools using ./setup.py is deprecated. Launching it using generic build tools that use pyproject.toml is recommended. - With the new approach customizing the build is not possible to the earlier extent. So, introduce is a simple and sufficient build system using 'make'. Tests: - Check the pyproject.toml using validate-pyproject tool. - Run diffoscope on old and new packages and verify that no unexpected changes were introduced by the build system change. - None of the files part of .deb package have different file permissions compared to before.
