Possible context of error(s):

 * DISTUTILS_USE_SETUPTOOLS value is probably incorrect
 *   have:     DISTUTILS_USE_SETUPTOOLS=bdepend (or unset)
 *   expected: DISTUTILS_USE_SETUPTOOLS=rdepend

thanks for the report.  however, i don't think we'll bother fixing it.

setuptools is only needed at runtime for python3.7.  for python3.8+, the warning is bogus.  so we'll just leave the deps slightly incorrect for 3.7 and wait for that to be removed from the tree.  the chances of setuptools not being pulled in by other things is pretty low.
