As of now, the distutils is deprecated with removal planned for
python 3.12.
The recommended way is to use setuptools which is an enhanced
alternative to distutils maintained by the python packaging authority.
This commit replace with setuptools the distutil import inserted in the
8126ef0c00eb8e2faae2cf1ca9fbaf25c10582cd commit.
This commit also update the debian control runtime dependency.

gvgen module require the six module from python3-six package.
This new dependency is only necessary for python2/python3 cross
compatibility on dict.iteritems() (py2) vs dict.items() (py3).
ifupdown2 does not support python2 so we could replace every iteritems
occurrences to it's python3 format but this means the gvgen module will
diff from upstream.
The simplest way is to make ifupdown depends on python3-six.
this feature doesn't seem to be working anyway. This can be revisited in the
future but this allows us to drop the python3-argcomplete dependency for now

IPNetwork doesn't exists anymore and is replaced by ip_network. IPv?Network (4 and 6)
objects take an optional argument "strict" that defaults to True. If strict is set
and the ip address has the host bit set it will raise an exception. This is bad
for ifupdown2, so we need to replace all calls to IPNetwork and IPv?Network with
function who will set strict to False. That way we can limit the number of changes
for this patch.
