it might be difficult to reproduce in Debian without having 3.12 enabled 
as the default.  But your reluctance to point a removed distutils module 
in 3.12 to some issue in "my build environment" is odd.

I won't waste any more effort into this until you get the RC report from 
the next test rebuild of unstable.
