Bug#894502: python3-matplotlib: Missing distutils dependency

[Ole Streicher]

Package: python3-matplotlib
Version: 2.1.1-2
Severity: serious
Control: affects: -1 python3-astroml python3-aplpy python3-imexam

Dear maintainer,

Matplotlib is currently unusable on sid:

Python 3.6.5 (default, Mar 30 2018, 02:08:52)
[GCC 7.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import matplotlib
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/matplotlib/__init__.py", line
110, in 
import distutils.sysconfig
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils.sysconfig'

See also #893924.

This makes several packages (which require matplotlib) unusable.

Best regards

Ole
