    Merge branch 'merge-request-468-unblock/unreproducible-direct-url-json-file' into 'debian'
    
    python3-selinux: remove direct_url.json and its RECORD entry
    
    See merge request selinux-team/libselinux!10

commit 3f3e70762d207aff2dd977a9f4cefb6b53e246a9
Author: James Addison <jay@jp-hosting.net>
Date:   Thu Feb 15 12:58:41 2024 +0000

    Remove direct_url.json and its RECORD entry
    
    The direct_url.json file contains a reference to the requested origin URL of
    the installed package, as specified in PEP610[1].  During Debian package
    builds, the install origin is a temporary directory on the build host's
    local filesystem (a file:// URI) - ephemeral, different between each build
    of the package, and a cause of non-reproducibility for package builds.
    
    This fix is modeled on a one-off fix for a different package in #982529. There
    is also a precedent[2] for dh-python to remove this file automatically,
    although at the time-of-writing that only applies to Python packages that use
    the 'flit' framework as their Python buildsystem.

debian/patches: 3 patches to forward upstream low

Among the 3 debian patches available in version 3.8.1-1 of the package, we noticed the following issues:

3 patches where the metadata indicates that the patch has not yet been forwarded upstream. You should either forward the patch upstream or update the metadata to document its real status.

Standards version of the package is outdated. wishlist

The package should be updated to follow the last version of Debian Policy (Standards-Version 4.7.2 instead of 4.6.2).
