calver sets the version based on the current date. We don't want this,
we want to use the same version that upstream used when generating the
tarball.
To achieve that, you may export DEB_VERSION_UPSTREAM from debian/rules,
and then patch setup.py to remove use_calver=True and instead pass
version=os.environ["DEB_VERSION_UPSTREAM"] to setup().

I think it's better to have trove-classifiers packaged separately. It looks
like it's updated quite frequently (around 2 times a month, see [1]), so
having it as a separate package will allow us to update it on its own
schedule.
