Great, thanks.

These are local connections. The tests start a server process and a client
contacts it during the tests.

If sbuild brings in a proxy variable like for
auto-apt-proxy, those test want to use that proxy going to the test service.
Which breaks.

I feel it is ugly to patch all python packages that do local client-server
tests with this to unset the proxy vars:
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/python-mcp/-/blob/debian/master/debian/patches/disable_proxies_during_tests?ref_type=heads

That's why I asked and maybe I should ask on mentors or on a specific thread on
the debian-python list: is this the pattern to follow?

Thanks,

Pieter
