[Python-modules-team] state of python-msrest.

[peter green]

While looking at cruft python packages in testing I discovered that python-requests-oauthlib was blocked from migrating to testing by the python-msrest binary package.

Stable and testing currently have python-msrest 0.5.5-1, uploaded in November 2018 by Nicolas Dandrimont.

Immediately after uploading that it seems that Nicolas started on packaged 0.6.1 but did not upload it because (as he noted in the changelog) python3-trio was still in new. Ondřej Nový then made some packaging cleanups, but still did not upload.

Then in August this year Andrey Rahmatullin removed the comment about python3-trio from the changelog, removed python 2 support and uploaded version 0.6.1-1 to unstable.

Unfortunately there are still two problems blocking it's migration to testing.

1. Matthias Klose noticed that build-time tests were trying to access the network and the build was failing if no internet access was available ( https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=942101 ).
2. while python3-trio has passed new, it's maintainer (Robie Basak) has filed a RC bug saying he does not belive it is currently suitable for a stable release.

Thoughts on the best way forward? should the upload of 0.6.1 be reverted?
