For what it's worth, sra-sdk was able to build in Ubuntu, where
python3-distutils is already gone from dh-python, after only dropping
the build-dependency in sra-sdk.

Even if this were not the case, I'd say it is safe to drop the
build-dependency now, because if additional changes were required, it
would be detected in the test rebuild following the Python 3.12
transition.
