Hi Team,

I've been working on updating pyrle for a while. Me, plenae and jcfp are 
currently working on it but we seem to have hit a roadblock when it 
comes to the lintian warning:

W: python3-pyrle: python-module-in-wrong-location 
usr/lib/python3.14/dist-packages/pyrle-0.0.42.dist-info -> 
usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pyrle-0.0.42.dist-info

We've been unable to figure out what's causing this. I asked in 
#debian-mentors but couldn't find any solution for it.

Packaging for pyrle can be found here [3]
