A lot of packages in the archive are depending on distutils but do not 
see any upstream updates over years.
We could manage a migration to another Python build system "somehow", 
but then I think the time until the freeze is to short to fix all these 
packages if we wanted to drop distutils, beside the other work that is 
needed to be done until the hard freeze.
