[Python-modules-team] Bug#963020: impacket breaks smbmap autopkgtest: No module named 'pkg_resources'

Dear maintainer(s),

With a recent upload of impacket the autopkgtest of smbmap fails in
testing when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages of
impacket from unstable. It passes when run with only packages from
testing. In tabular form:

                       pass            fail
impacket               from testing    0.9.21-1
smbmap                 from testing    1.8.2-1
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report. Is the latest
impacket missing a dependency or is the version function not supported
anymore?

Currently this regression is blocking the migration of impacket to
testing [1]. Due to the nature of this issue, I filed this bug report
against both packages. Can you please investigate the situation and
reassign the bug to the right package?
