Can you share some context on why this is needed? AFAIU, this should be handled for us by setuptools-scm. If I do python -m build --wheel on main and inspect the generated wheel I see:

Sorry for no providing all the context.
I'm one of the maintainers of the Debian package for MetPy.
In our case we use the source tarball directly generated by github for tags.
To build the package I use something like the following command:

env SETUPTOOLS_SCM_PRETEND_VERSION=1.7.1 python3 -m build

The actual build process is actually a little bit more complex and it is managed by the tools that we use to generated the Debian package itself (.deb).

I understand that my workflow is pretty unusual and clearly setuptools-scm cannot work properly without a git repository or .dist-info metadata, so please feel free to ignore the PR.
