Well, this requirement is not enforced, the python3 setup.py command works
without complaining.
It just produces the wrong result with files in :
/usr/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/UNKNOWN-0.0.0-py3.9.egg-info/

This seems to mean that a newer setuptools is actually required.
As for the exact version, maybe it's something between 57.5.0 and 61.2, but that
doesn't matter much.

 - Yth.
