The issue is that python packaging tools are starting to expect PEP-440
versions. This has been fixed in reportbug, already:
https://salsa.debian.org/reportbug-team/reportbug/-/commit/f8e2057114847345c4ebbd3fc421a07fafcb33a2
Older releases run into trouble when users run modern Python tools with
these expectations directly on the system python3, or in a
--system-site-packages virtualenv.
I wrote this up in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/distro-info/+bug/1991606/comments/50
For reportbug, only buster and older are affected, so this is an LTS
issue. I'll look at it.
