The NMU of automake-1.16=1:1.16.5-1.2 seems to have introduced a regression
for the autopkgtest. From test-suite.log:

It looks as though the patch works for python3.10 (and therefore for
Ubuntu, where this is already the default), but not for 3.9. Perhaps
it should be doing something like this?
if hasattr(sysconfig, 'get_default_scheme'):
scheme = sysconfig.get_default_scheme()
else:
scheme = 'posix_prefix'
I'm not completely clear on whether this is Debian-specific or
upstream-suitable, though.
