Hi,

I was trying to rebuild dask, and discovered that several dependencies
aren't installable because python3-distutils appears to have been
merged into python3-stdlib-extensions.

For example in an unstable chroot
 python3-sphinx : Depends: python3-lib2to3 but it is not installable
                  Depends: python3-distutils but it is not installable

Is this a problem with the python3-stdlib-extensions packaging or does
anything that currently depends on python3-distutils need to be
updated?

Looks like it has a build-dep loop:
