Setuptools deprecation warning: installing ... as data is deprecated, list in "packages"

[juliangilbey]

I've received a series of deprecation warnings from setuptools when building this package on Debian (setuptools version 65.5.0): the first is

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/setuptools/command/build_py.py:202: SetuptoolsDeprecationWarning:     Installing 'pydevd_attach_to_process.linux_and_mac' as data is deprecated, please list it in `packages`.
    !!


    ############################
    # Package would be ignored #

    Python recognizes 'pydevd_attach_to_process.linux_and_mac' as an importable package,
    but it is not listed in the `packages` configuration of setuptools.

    'pydevd_attach_to_process.linux_and_mac' has been automatically added to the distribution only
    because it may contain data files, but this behavior is likely to change
    in future versions of setuptools (and therefore is considered deprecated).

    Please make sure that 'pydevd_attach_to_process.linux_and_mac' is included as a package by using
    the `packages` configuration field or the proper discovery methods
    (for example by using `find_namespace_packages(...)`/`find_namespace:`
    instead of `find_packages(...)`/`find:`).

    You can read more about "package discovery" and "data files" on setuptools
    documentation page.

  check.warn(importable)

This warning is then repeated for pydevd_attach_to_process.winappdbg and pydevd_attach_to_process.winappdbg.win32.
