https://blogs.gentoo.org/ago/2020/07/04/gentoo-tinderbox/ Issue: mail-filter/spf-engine-2.9.2-r1 uses a probably incorrect DISTUTILS_USE_SETUPTOOLS value. Discovered on: amd64 (internal ref: tinderbox)
Created attachment 732448 [details] build.log build log and emerge --info
I don't know how to make the QA warning go away, but I left a comment in the ebuild when I did this: # setup.py defines entry_points DISTUTILS_USE_SETUPTOOLS=rdepend inherit distutils-r1

Specifically, see the "Entry points via importlib.metadata" part of the post. mgorny may be able to offer further guidance and/or update the Python guide with a way to tell if the QA check is right in a particular case?
I'm also not 100% sure, but I think "rdepend" is still correct these days when entry_points is used for console_scripts. Here's the setup.py file in question: https://git.launchpad.net/spf-engine/tree/setup.py
