With version 60.0.0 setuptools changed to a local installation of
distutils. This seems to break the installation of swid-generator (causing
an `importlib.metadata.PackageNotFoundError: swid-generator` error).
Note that while Debian ships setuptools 52.0.0, `python-daemon` recently
added a dependency on `setuptools>=62.4.0`, which installs that version
that's then later used to install swid-generator.
The main difference seems to be that the local version installs the
package in `/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages`, while the stdlib version
does so in `/usr/local/lib/python3.9/dist-packages` (similarly for the
`swid_generator` script and the `distro` dependency).
Not sure if there is a better/proper way to fix this. Might just be an
issue with Debian bullseye and mixing system packages with those installed
via pip3.
This way we get updated versions automatically (referencing "master"
required manually deleting the downloaded archives and the unpacked
directories). It also allows switching versions when working in different
branches (note that REV can also be set to a commit ID, e.g. to test
changes before tagging them later and merging the branch).
