python3-setuptools: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_distutils_hack'

[Pablo Mestre <pmdcuba@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Im trying to package python-jsonrpc-server but the last version of
setuptools are having this import problem.
Any idea how I can solve this issue

Package: python3-setuptools
Version: 49.3.1-1

The most recent upload broke something badly, setuptools can no longer
be imported:

# debuild
