I do not yet have a complete picture, but this change plus moving the
dh-python dependency away from python3 are still causing ~ 100 FTBFS.
And the bigger problem are actually python3-distutils runtime dependencies:
Currently they are added only when someone reports a bug, to avoid a
large amount of buster-pu updates plus a constant stream of bugs in new
packages a stable solution is required for that.
