I am able to build with compatibility 12:
%:
dh $@ --buildsystem=pybuild --with python-virtualenv
override_dh_virtualenv:
dh_virtualenv --python python3
I don't remember if you tried that. So, while it could work out of the
box without overriding dh_virtualenv, it works good enough to be in a
release, with two solutions:
- use compatibility 11
- override dh_virtualenv invocation to not chocke on
--buildsystem=pybuild
Also, it seems you pass --builtin-venv to dh, you only need to pass it
to dh_virtualenv.
