The reason for this issue is that since the upload of python3.6 version
3.6.5~rc1-2, it doesn't depend on python3-distutils anymore. Also your
autopkgtest¹ fails since than with the following error:

  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/runpy.py", line 183, in _run_module_as_main
    mod_name, mod_spec, code = _get_module_details(mod_name, _Error)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/runpy.py", line 109, in _get_module_details
    __import__(pkg_name)
  File
"/tmp/autopkgtest-lxc.tzt7pzhx/downtmp/build.a0d/src/testtools/__init__.py",
line 113, in <module>
    from testtools.distutilscmd import (
  File
"/tmp/autopkgtest-lxc.tzt7pzhx/downtmp/build.a0d/src/testtools/distutilscmd.py",
line 7, in <module>
    from distutils.core import Command
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils.core'

There are rumors that one shouldn't use distutils as a runtime
dependency and one should use sysconfig instead.
