[Buildroot] [PATCH] distcc: deprecate package, only useful for development

[Thomas Petazzoni]

Since quite a while, we have deprecated, and then removed the support
to build a compiler on the target. Therefore, having a distcc package
for the package is quite useless, and this patch consequently marks it
as deprecated so it can be removed in a future version of Buildroot.

Fixes:

It doesn't really fix the error, but ok.

Committed, thanks.

Right, but is it worth fixing build issues for packages that are
completely useless? :-)
