mecab participates in dependency loops relevant to architecture
bootstrap. Rather than looking into such a difficult problem, I looked
into easily droppable dependencies. It turns out that the python
extension uses distutils rather than setuptools. Therefore
python3-setuptools can be dropped from Build-Depends. Please consider
applying the attached patch.
