+Subject: [PATCH] remove pkg_resources import
+
+setutools 82 dropped pkf_resources module. Also, beside importing
+it, it isn't used for anything.
+
+Upstream has started to rework their setup config, and moved to
+build_meta, however that's still in development, and there seem to
+be no stable version yet.
+
+Once there is a new version, most likely this patch can be dropped.
+
+Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [see above]
