Package: lintian
Version: 2.115.3
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian...@lists.debian.org
The missing-prerequisite-for-pyproject-backend check appears to only
look for the prerequisite packages in Build-Depends, but since they
aren't needed for clean, they could be in Build-Depends-Indep, leading
to false positives.

Hi Scott,
I contemplated filing a similar the other day but in writing it up, I
realised that lintian was correct. Policy requires that the 'clean'
target be functional with only the Build-Depends (and Build-Conflicts)
satisfied, and pybuild + the build-backend dependencies are involved in
the cleaning step.
cheers

Not always. At least with the package I ran into this on, clean works fine
