Bug#880241: sagenb-export: FTBFS: Test failures

[Ximin Luo]

Control: reassign -1 src:testpath
Control: retitle -1 testpath does not install .egg-info or .dist-info, making it invisible to pip
Control: affects -1 sagenb-export

The sagenb-export FTBFS is caused by the python "testpath" module not installing a .egg-info file (or .dist-info directory) which makes it invisible to pip. It then tries downloading testpath from the internet, causing the below error.

Upstream testpath uses their own custom tool "flit" to generate a .dist-info directory - which you can see the contents of by running `pip install testpath` then looking in ~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/testpath-0.3.1.dist-info/.

An alternative to packaging flit and then modifying testpath to use flit, would be to simply add ~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/testpath-0.3.1.dist-info/METADATA to our Debian packaging and install it in /usr/lib/pythonX.Y/dist-packages/testpath-0.3.1.egg-info, etc
