distutils and Debian

[Colin J. Williams]

The distutils download page has:
--------------------------------------------------------
Current stable release

The current stable release is Distutils 1.0.2; you can download it as:

     * Distutils-1.0.2.tar.gz (source distribution) (233k)
     * Distutils-1.0.2.zip (source distribution) (274k)
     * Distutils-1.0.2.win32.exe (Windows installer) (187k)

If you are running Python version 1.6 or later, you do not need to 
download the Distutils: they're included with Python. However, if you 
have a Distutils more recent than your Python, you might want to install 
it: see the Distutils README.txt file. Version 1.0.2 is identical to the 
version included in Python 2.1.
---------------------------------------------------------

With Debian, it seems that distutils is not included for
Python 2.2 or 2.3.

Should this be reported as a Debian bug?
