Hi,
I noticed that recent versions of setuptools show this warning:

/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/setuptools/command/build_py.py:201: _Warning: Package 'klaus.static' is absent from the `packages` configuration.

        Python recognizes 'klaus.static' as an importable package[^1],                                                                                                                                             
        but it is absent from setuptools' `packages` configuration.                                                                                                                                                
                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
        This leads to an ambiguous overall configuration. If you want to distribute this                                                                                                                           
        package, please make sure that 'klaus.static' is explicitly added                                                                                                                                          
        to the `packages` configuration field.                                                                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
        Alternatively, you can also rely on setuptools' discovery methods                                
        (for example by using `find_namespace_packages(...)`/`find_namespace:`                                                                                                                                     
        instead of `find_packages(...)`/`find:`).

        `find_namespace_packages(...)/find_namespace` or `find_packages(...)/find`,                      
        you can try to use `exclude_package_data`, or `include-package-data=False` in 
        combination with a more fine grained `package-data` configuration.
