Title:
  Pybuild fails to install submodules

Status in python-openstackclient package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  There was a recent change in upstream python-openstackclient[1] that
  migrated setup configuration to pyproject.toml. Packaging a git
  snapshot of upstream for OpenStack Flamingo with this change gives the
  following error during autopkgtests:

   86s Traceback (most recent call last):
   86s   File "/usr/bin/openstack", line 6, in <module>
   86s     from openstackclient.shell import main
   86s   File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/openstackclient/shell.py", line 27, in <module>
   86s     from openstackclient.common import clientmanager
   86s ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'openstackclient.common'

  On inspection with dpkg-deb --contents, all subdirectories of
  openstackclient are missing (api, common, compute, identity, image,
  locale, network, object, releasenotes, tests, volume).

  A workaround I have found is patching the pyproject.toml file to
  replace this stanza:

  [tool.setuptools]
  packages = [
      "openstackclient"
  ]

  With this stanza to recursively look for subdirectories as described
  in the docs[2]:

  [tool.setuptools.packages.find]
  include = ["openstackclient*"]
  exclude = ["openstackclient.tests*"]

  When building the package with pip in a venv (ie, pip install
  'git+https://opendev.org/openstack/python-
  openstackclient.git at master'), this issue is not present. This suggests
  it is either an issue with pybuild or our packaging process.
