Bug Description
python3-distutils is no longer a package on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. However, python3-distutils-extra is a thing. No idea what the difference is.
Although you can argue setup.sh doesn't care about any environment other than the distro that the developers use, which is fair.

Description: enhancements to the Python3 build system
This package provides additional functions to Python's distutils and
setuptools. It allows you to easily integrate gettext, icons and GNOME
documentation into your build and installation process.
.
It also provides an "auto" module which provides a "do what I mean" automatic
build system; if you stick to the conventions, you do not need to write
setup.cfg, POTFILES.in, or MANIFEST.in, and setup.py just needs to have the
package metadata (such as project name and version).

https://peps.python.org/pep-0632/ seems like distutils was removed in python 3.12. I don't know what Debian/Ubuntu is doing with python3-distutils-extra then
However, python3-distutils-extra is a thing. No idea what the difference is.
According to https://packages.ubuntu.com/noble/all/python3-distutils-extra/filelist, python3-distutils-extra contains nothing from https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/all/python3-distutils/filelist
Fixed in coming release
