distutils is pretty much deprecated these days, and replaced with setuptools. It's also annoying because you can't pip install it, and it's hard to figure out which debian package we should depend on to make sure it's there.

Since we only use it for a tiny function anyway, let's just vendor said function into our codebase.

I think this fixes an issue on debian where upgrading python3-distutils could lead to No module named 'distutils.util':

  1. You're following Debian testing, which has recently changed the default python version from 3.7 to 3.9. Currently, you have python3.7 installed, as well as python3-distutils==3.7. You also have matrix-synapse-py3==1.24 installed (or, equivalently, the buster version of 1.25).
  2. You upgrade python3-distutils on your system, which removes /usr/lib/python3.7/distutils/util.py, but leaves python3.7 in place.
  3. Synapse now fails with the above import error.

In any case, this seems like a good thing to do.

`distutils` is pretty much deprecated these days, and replaced with
`setuptools`. It's also annoying because it's you can't `pip install` it, and
it's hard to figure out which debian package we should depend on to make sure
it's there.

Since we only use it for a tiny function anyway, let's just vendor said
function into our codebase.

nb that python3.X depends on libpython3.X-stdlib so we don't need to pull it in explicitly.

This was here to say that we didn't need a separate python3-distutils provided libpython3-stdlib was old enough. Now we don't need a separate python3-distutils at all, so the whole line is redundant.
