Hi Hauke,
thanks for merging the patch!
Can we also get this cherry-picked to the 21.02 branch, please?
Jeffery makes some good points as to why here:
https://github.com/openwrt/packages/pull/16304#issuecomment-904097018
I too can see that package backports could get unnecessarily painful in
the future without this in 21.02.
Thanks,
Andre

Debian and Ubuntu ship a python3-minimal package which does not include
the distutils module. This is not supported by upstream and can be
considered a broken python distribution.
In practice, many scripts depend on said module, and this is a reoccuring
pain point for building various OpenWrt packages.
Require and check for said module, enough time has been wasted on this.
