It's probably correct: <https://blogs.gentoo.org/mgorny/2020/10/21/distutils_use_setuptools-qa-spam-and-more-qa-spam/>

I don't think it's a good idea to auto-report these vague maybe-bugs.

Check has been changed to be strict. So reports are valid now.

games-util/legendary seems to work fine with dev-python/setuptools removed. I don't see what's the problem here.
