--- BEGIN ISSUE ---
[BUG] Removal of convert_path break some packages
### setuptools version

setuptools=61.0.0

### Python version

Python 3.9

### OS

all

### Additional environment information

_No response_

### Description

Some packages such as Cartopy have been broken by upgrade to setuptools=61.0.0

https://github.com/SciTools/cartopy/issues/2021

This is because of commit https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/commit/1ee962510ba66578f6069e6a675b3715ad12ac0b which removes the import
```python
from distutils.util import convert_path
```

This should at least be in the changelog as breakage of API

### Expected behavior

Removing import from __init__.py should be documented in the [CHANGES.rst file](https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/blob/main/CHANGES.rst) for version 61.0.0

### How to Reproduce

Try installing Cartopy with lastest setuptools version

### Output

```console
ImportError: cannot import name 'convert_path' from 'setuptools'
```
