+Subject: [PATCH] fix pyproject.toml not to install stray files into
+ site-packages
+
+Fix the `include` directives in `pyproject.toml` to include the relevant
+files in `sdist` archives only and not in wheels, where they end up
+being installed straight into site-packages, e.g. as:
+
+    /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/CHANGELOG.md
+    /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/README.md
