python-debian: migrate to standard ‘unittest’ for test suite discovery

[Ben Finney]

Package: python-debian
Version: 0.1.29
Severity: minor
Control: tags -1 + patch

The test suite does not appear to use any ‘nose’ features that are not
already in the standard library ‘unittest’ module as of Python 2.7.
The dependency on ‘nose’ is evidently only to do automatic test suite
discovery.

The dependency on ‘nose’ can be removed, by migrating to use the
standard ‘unittest’ test suite discovery.

My proposed implementation for this is at
<URL:https://git.fosscommunity.in/bignose/debian_python-debian/commits/wip/maintenance/unittest>,
the ‘wip/maintenance/unittest’ branch.
