I think this might also prevent the CI regressions currently seen in
src:caffe, src:gpaw and src:link-grammar, if python3.6 additionally gets
a Breaks on dh-python (<< the version that added the dependency).

In <https://ci.debian.net/packages/c/caffe/testing/amd64/> you can see
that the versions that pick up python3.6 from unstable ("trigger:
python3.6") are failing their tests. Their logs indicate that
python3-distutils was not installed in the failing cases, and the tests
fail with: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils.sysconfig'

Similarly <https://ci.debian.net/packages/g/gpaw/testing/amd64/> and
<https://ci.debian.net/packages/l/link-grammar/testing/amd64/>.

This is true in testing, but not in unstable. See #893755, #893847.
