Public bug reported: This weekend, we noticed that link-grammar fails to build from source because of a change in python3.6. I've now found a second case with redshift.
These packages still build in Debian unstable. Therefore, it looks like the sysconfig-debian-schemes patch is to blame. The "fix" for link-grammar looks wrong. It does not feel like it would be an improvement to update all affected packages like this. It's interesting that autopkgtest did its job here by link-grammar failing its tests but the failure was basically quickly ignored.
