    prereq-build: require python3-distutils
    
    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.
