Hi Graham and Laurin, The package is currently only in unstable because of other RC bugs. Its presence in unstable will not cause any problems, even if distutils is removed from unstable. When the new version is finally packaged, it certainly won't depend on distutils. (Removing anki from Debian entirely and then having to go through NEW when the new version is packaged is unnecessary effort.)
