commit 465d626a37351a759c49f5f1c6b1fd4ff45db45b
Author: dann frazier <dannf@debian.org>
Date:   Mon Aug 3 23:02:39 2026 -0600

    Drop python3-setuptools from Build-Depends
    
    It's already declared in Build-Depends-Indep.
    
    Signed-off-by: dann frazier <dannf@debian.org>

commit 740b31de1269517fc87330618ea00717a61a1764
Author: dann frazier <dannf@debian.org>
Date:   Mon Aug 3 23:06:03 2026 -0600

    Revert "Use python3-setuptools-whl instead of python3-setuptools"
    
    This reverts commit f3a285e6167d61a4b86fc2cf85c4eb893364c954.
    
    python3-setuptools is sufficient, we just needed to use --no-build-isolation
    to use it.
    
    Signed-off-by: dann frazier <dannf@debian.org>

commit 80dc41795d35ce1721ea05e96d92d223b043d746
Author: dann frazier <dannf@debian.org>
Date:   Mon Aug 3 22:53:17 2026 -0600

    Add additional pip arguments
    
    --no-build-isolation is needed to consume the system site-packages dependencies.
    --no-cache-dir avoids trying to write outside of the build tree ($HOME/.cache).
    --no-index avoids trying to reach out to the Internet at build time.

    Also add python3-setuptools
    
    I'm still seeing an issue in CI where it is trying to download setuptools.

    Use python3-setuptools-whl instead of python3-setuptools
    
    Needed for use in a virtual environment.

    Add build-dep on python3-setuptools
    
    Signed-off-by: dann frazier <dannf@debian.org>

commit 797c39869d47d142a9a8e992366adf4469407897
Author: dann frazier <dannf@debian.org>
Date:   Mon Aug 3 14:27:46 2026 -0600

    d/rules: Use a throwaway venv to regenerate manpages w/ help2man.
    
    This avoids a dependency on the upstream source having been installed
    before dh_installman. Making override_dh_installman depend on install-indep
    instead apparently introduces a circular dependency.
