Fixes #678
Since #678 will make things difficult for pip 24.1 users using non-tagged python builds, I'm proposing this solution.
We could also work around it in pip but this would be messier and would not solve the problem for
packaging
users.CPython could also be changed, but it is likely more complex to achieve and probably not doable for older CPython versions.
