Out of curiosity why not add setuptools and wheel to the group, at this
point? Can be done on top of course.

Hm. If we're operating offline, it would only really serve as a
configure check. Online it might actually be a help. I'll do it as a
follow up, I just need to figure out which versions meet our needs and
do testing to choose the accepted values.

Use whatever is in bookworm or 22.04?

OpenSUSE Leap 15.6 and 22.04 until April

Technically for OpenSUSE we would use py3XX-setuptools;
py310-setuptools in particular is 67.6. But yeah, 22.04 is the oldest
at this point and we might as well pick that one for our accepted
version.

And 0.42.0 for wheel.

I don't think we really really have to support OpenSUSE 15 anymore, do we? 
16.0 has been released since a while, and we state that "The project aims to 
support the most recent major version at all times for up to five years 
after its initial release." - and OpenSUSE 15.0 has been released more than 
5 years ago.

Sounds reasonable. But in case it's causing trouble, 22.04 goes EOL on 
2026-04-25 and the next QEMU release is planned for 2026-04-14, so IMHO 
that's close enough to at least consider to ignore it?
