I am a Python developer and many of my projects are still running inside Python 3.6 virtualenvs. Might it be a bit premature to remove the 3.6 distutils module while Python 3.6 is still available and supported within Debian? As an aside, I can confirm that downgrading to 3.7.1-1 (current buster version) restores the expected functionality with no noticeable side-effects.
