Lack of Distutils (deprecated since python 3.10, removed in 3.12) prevents building about xemu

It's been fixed on deb packaging branch. Feel free to send me a pr elsewhere to update the dep

Its most certainly not fixed. This doesn't work of course 721fca5 . Read the link posted. distutils has been entirely removed. It does not exist in a separate package either.

I see no reason why the builtin python version comparison can't be used https://packaging.pypa.io/en/latest/version.html#packaging.version.Version

CC @elmarco as the author of this addition 73e6aec for correction to use some other supported method for version comparison

@theofficialgman xemu is a based on QEMU, and it looks like they have already migrated from distutils upstream. We are just a bit behind in versions. It'll get fixed eventually when I rebase again or when either I or someone else finds time to fix it before then. If you are very motivated, feel free to send a PR to fix the build in the mean time.
