short time meaning, that we will remove it once we are stopping to have 
3.11 as a supported version, which is usually as the final step of a 
python transition.  Please note, that python3-distutils has not been 
available for 3.12 at any time.

this analysis is not good enough. it probably includes all stuff that 
can be used with the distutils included in setuptools.

it will be removed once we stop having 3.11 as a supported Python version.
