I'm using these classes directly to parse semantic-ish versions in metadata for Munki packages (a package manager for MacOS). Looks like this packaging library is what I should use. Thanks you!

Hello! Are you seeing this problem when building or installing some package, or are you using the classes directly?

If it’s the latter, I would recommand you to use https://pypi.org/project/packaging/ rather than distutils, which is not meant to be used as a generic library.
