I strongly against reverting this! We already have a backlog of several
python packages which are using "setuptools" as input. If reverting the
new python build system, we need to clean them all up later.

We need to go forward instead of reverting. Fixing up the build issues
should be easy since the changes are not fundamental.

I'm curious (I do not understand hydra yet), but AKAIU a "build" is
about a single package. And https://hydra.gnu.org/build/1637640 builds
calibre. There is no queue not other packages.

I assume you are talking about evaluation 109379
<https://hydra.gnu.org/eval/109379>, which the above build is part of.
This evaluation is outdated. I already fixed some of the errors you
listed, others did not occur on my system when trying to reproduce.
