[Bug 1874275] Re: focal package doesn't contain executables, only manpages

[Mathew Hodson]

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/debhelper/-/commit/31aebcf978dde4791887e32d00487bc28d46b8fa

python_distutils.pm isn't supported, so there isn't anything to fix in
debhelper.

"Deprecate the python-distutils build system
and mark it as removed in compat 12.  Users are recommeded to
migrate to the third-party build system called "pybuild".  This
deprecation implies that python3 (among other) will not be
supported in the python-distutils build system."

** No longer affects: debhelper (Ubuntu)

  the package has currently no useful content

  * Test case
  install mailnag, check that the binary is there and working

  * Regression potential
  the deb was empty from useful content so it shouldn't regress

  was installed but no executables were found.

  Checking the content of the packages shows not content other than
  manpages.
