Hmm, looks like skip_unless_module_exists() needs to catch the
exception. Patch attached - I don't like the "skip" variable, so if you
know of a nicer way (the function needs to return a callable so you
can't use mark.skip AFAICS) then please do it.

The way I read the docs is that it should return None here; not sure why
it doesn't - bug in python?

BTW, maybe it would be nice if the 'debian' tests were run in
autopkgtest; add a test-dep on python3-debian?

Cheers,
