Description
libsass-python is EOL and no longer receives updates. The latest version of it has compat issues with setuptools 82+ because of the pkg_resources removal.
https://github.com/sass/libsass-python#libsass-python-sassscss-for-python:
LibSass has reached its end of life. It will no longer receive updates of any kind, nor will its wrapper libraries. Users should migrate to Dart Sass at their earliest convenience. See also https://github.com/attakei/sass-embedded-python.
In Alpine, mint-themes is the last consumer of libsass-python, so we can remove it from our repositories, after mint-themes switched away.

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the repository's dependency configuration and the mint-themes Sass build path, then identify how libsass-python is consumed. Done means the remaining consumer uses Dart Sass, libsass-python can be removed from the repositories, and the theme build still succeeds.
