Sure enough, your analysis that this is a problem is correct.  But all my
poking around in the release directory couldn't find where singular-helper
is coming from.  Could it be that upset is creating "singular-helper" out
of midair since release/singular is empty except for subdirectories?  If
so, would adding a setup.hint to release/singular be good enough to
stop upset from inventing singular-helper?  Most packages with
subdirectories also have a package by the primary name (take, for
example,  release/readline vs. release/readline/libreadline6).
