Package: lintian Version: 2.115.3 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-python@lists.debian.org The missing-prerequisite-for-pyproject-backend check appears to only look for the prerequisite packages in Build-Depends, but since they aren't needed for clean, they could be in Build-Depends-Indep, leading to false positives.

I contemplated filing a similar the other day but in writing it up, I realised that lintian was correct. Policy requires that the 'clean' target be functional with only the Build-Depends (and Build-Conflicts) satisfied, and pybuild + the build-backend dependencies are involved in the cleaning step.
