I was assuming it's because there's a cyclic dependency between pandas
and statsmodels (needed for pandas unit tests), and statsmodels was
also broken by the fpectl problem.

My solution was to use build-profiles to flag the test dependency with
!nocheck

(The diff of the control file changes, though I forgot to add python3-
statsmodels.)

I have a few rules changes too, but I need to separate the changes into
different commits.
