Simple answer: Build-Depend on pybuild-plugin-pyproject. And then you 
may need to change some things.

But... we should make this the default. Thanks for the reminder. This 
has been on my TODO list for a while. But I forget to look at it early 
in a release cycle.

Here's a starting point:
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/tools/dh-python/-/merge_requests/77

I'm test-building 50 packages that build-depend on dh-python but not 
pybuild-plugin-pyproject here:
https://debusine.debian.net/debian/r-stefanor-dh-python/workflow/?page=1

It looks like I'm going to need to do a complete rebuild (5300 odd 
packages) and file a *lot* of bugs.
