Hi Stefano,
I'm a little confused by this. Have a look at
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1005039 against
python3-iniconfig. It has a very straightforward debian/rules, using
pybuild, and its setup.py script has "use_scm_version=True", but it
still produces a python package with version number 0.0.0.
I have tried this in an environment where I have
python3-setuptools-scm installed, by the way (even though the package
does not Build-Depends on it). I'm using dh-python version 5.20220119
Best wishes,
Julian
