- 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.
