We now get

setup: Warning: No library or executable specified
Configuring ...
setup: Warning: No executables and no library found. Nothing to do.
setup: Warning: No exposed modules or executables in this package.
setup: Warning: No license-file field.
setup: Error: Missing field: name
setup: Error: Missing field: version

I suppose it could be better yet.
