Error when trying to build numpy

[JustM3dium]

Hey there,

I am currently trying to build numpy as a .deb. Here I proceed as follows:

1. download the files with pypi-download numpy.
2. build the .deb with py2dsc numpy-1.24.3.tar.gz.

The second step fails and I get the following output:

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
running the following command in directory: deb_dist/tmp_py2dsc/numpy-1.24.3
/usr/bin/python3 setup.py --command-packages stdeb.command sdist_dsc --dist-dir=/development/build-numpy/build/deb_dist --use-premade-distfile=/development/build-numpy/build/numpy-1.24.3.tar.gz

numpy.distutils is deprecated since NumPy 1.23.0, as a result
of the deprecation of distutils itself. It will be removed for
Python >= 3.12. For older Python versions it will remain present.
It is recommended to use setuptools < 60.0 for those Python versions.

I used stdeb version 0.10.0 and installed it via pip. If I follow the same steps to build for example stdeb or scipy I don't get this error, but the packages are built as requested.
Can someone explain what I am missing here?
