Agreed. Its worth noting though that we've finally introduced a build
system abstraction into Python, so dh_python should instead learn to
drive PEP-517 build systems; that will support flit and others over
time.
It does require a python thunk, sadly - see PEP 516 which was the
alternative :) - but its not too deep an issue to write that and slap
a CLI on it for dh_python to use.
