[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#999556: cwltool is missing the dependency on python3-distutils

[Anne]

Package: cwltool
Version: 3.0.20210124104916-3
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: anneluesink at live.nl

Dear Maintainer,

I was trying to run the cwltool and I encountered the error below (cannot import name 'spawn' from 'distutils'). 
I'm using WSL2 and Debian, a fresh install. The problem was fixed by installing python3-distutils.
