python3.6-distutils not found on Ubuntu 16.04 w/ deadsnakes PPA #138

This is meant as an FYI, not an issue to solve in this cookbook.

My team encountered an issue with the python3.6-distutils package (added in 861bf06) on Ubuntu 16.04 while using the deadsnakes PPA to pick up Python 3.6.

While this cookbook doesn’t directly support using the deadsnakes PPA, it works well enough like so:

apt_repository 'deadsnakes' do
  uri 'ppa:deadsnakes/ppa'
  components ['main']
  distribution node['lsb']['codename']
end

python_runtime '3.6' do
  options package_name: 'python3.6'
end

But it should be noted that the 18.04 hacks break this. Hopefully this helps someone in the future!
