u-u: import "email.genators" package early to workaround

This commit works around an issue when python itself is upgraded by u-u and the content of email.message now needs a newer email.errors but u-u already (implicitely) loaded that module so there is a old version in sys.modules. So instead import email.generators early so that it is available in memory and there is no mismatch. See python/cpython#124170 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3.8/+bug/2080940 for details. Thanks to Julian Klode for his excellent analysis. Closes: LP:2080940
