[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#998440: macs: will FTBFS when python3.10 is added

Hi Maintainer

When python3.10 is added as a supported version, macs 2.2.7.1-4 will
FTBFS with the following error:

I: pybuild base:232: python3.10 setup.py config
CRITICAL: Python version must >= 3.6!
E: pybuild pybuild:354: configure: plugin distutils failed with: exit
code=1: python3.10 setup.py config

This can easily be worked around with the patch below, but perhaps a
new upstream version will provide a better solution.

Regards
Graham
