Subject: [PATCH] fix(system_python): backport Debian 10 Buster bug into 2.0.2

This attribute is not part of the Python public API and in  Debian 10
Buster (OpenJDK 11, gcc 8.3.0) it seems to not be defined.

This reverts one of the debug logging statements added in
https://github.com/bazel-contrib/rules_python/pull/3667

Fixes #3774
