The `distutils` module is deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.12. We follow GNU Radio's example as well as the recommendations in PEP 632 and switch from `distutils.sysconfig` to `sysconfig`. Along with that change comes one fewer package dependency on Debian. We no longer need `python3-distutils` as well as an improvement to better distinguish between `dist-packages` and `site-packages`.

A few more references to this issue.
PEP632 that started the deprecation process.
A discussion on site vs dist packages on Debian that we hope to fix too.
UPDATE 2
Python sysconfig was introduced in Python 3.2. We rely on Python 3.4+ and thus, we can assume
sysconfigis always present.
