Hello everyone,

I am currently packaging pyartnet for Debian (Bug: 1124471). The upstream
project uses uv as build backend. When building the package, gbp fails
since uv_build is unavailable and can't be imported.

Pyartnet requires no significant external libraries.
Can I switch the build backend to setuptools using a patch or is this
considered bad practice?

https://salsa.debian.org/Arian-Ott/pyartnet/-/blob/debian/latest/pyproject.toml?ref_type=heads#L62-64

I would do that (and did for python-cryptography-vectors, though that package is trivial and doesn't contain Python code, and I was just
reverting an upstream change, not even writing my own patch).
