oh, I see. I’ve actually been trying to replace python-build-system with
a python-build based build. Attached is my current work in progress. I
cannot quite build python-build, because I’m lacking support for
python-flit, but I think the general idea is clear: Remove pip and
setuptools from python (saves almost 20MiB from the closure and avoids
weird conflicts between python’s setuptools and python-setuptools) and
turn them into (almost) ordinary packages. Then use setuptools to
bootstrap itself, bootstrap python-build with setuptools and use
python-build to build evrey other packages using python-build-system.

Cheers,
Lars
