3.3.0-1~bpo11+1, so maybe the value in the pyproject.toml file is
higher than it strictly needs to be. Regardless of what the actual
exact minimum value is, I can confirm that flit 3.0.0 is insufficient.


Please do not file RC bugs when a bookworm/sid only package does not build for 
bullseye-backports.
If you want a backport please express that intend otherwise this is invalid.

Dear Maintainer,

markdown-it-py fails to build from source with versions of flit earlier than
3.4 according to the package's pyproject.toml.[0] Attached is a patch
to fix the declared build dependency on flit in the debian/control file
to match the supported versions listed in the package's pyproject.toml
file.

3.3.0-1~bpo11+1, so maybe the value in the pyproject.toml file is
higher than it strictly needs to be. Regardless of what the actual
exact minimum value is, I can confirm that flit 3.0.0 is insufficient.
