Package: python3
Version: 3.6.5-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I installed Python 3 in this Docker image `debian:unstable`, I installed it 
using `apt`, and it installs ok... kind of: the distutils module is 
empty/broken:

  root@6df911ceaf26:/usr/lib/python3.6/distutils# ls
  __init__.py  __pycache__  version.py

It looks that this module files should be brought by another module now: 
`python3-distutils`. 

So python3 should declare it as a dependency. That way, when anybody installs 
`python3`, `python3-distutils` will be automatically brought, and `distutils` 
will be functional.

Thanks!!!
