Debian: Re-enable build of MythNetVision

[rcrdnalor]

This patch is for reference only.
Ubuntu decided years ago to disable the build of MythNetVision.
In case one decides to re-enable it, the following patch enables
the build of MythNetVision on Ubuntu again.
It does not package this plugin, though.

The patch needs the package python3-pip and the removal of the
package python3-distutils, which is done in python3.12, anyway.
It only works on Ubuntu 22.04+ because of missing functionality
prior to python 3.10.

It needs MythTV#437
to be solved beforehand.

If it needs pip - does that mean that it mean it downloads things dynamically? If so; we should instead be having dependencies for the things it gets from pip in debian/control.

No, pip does not download dependencies automatically.
See 5852297 which works on master.
I do not recommend to re-enable this plugin for Ubuntu, though.
This issue is just for reference, once this plugin is maintained again.

Got it thanks.
