[Bug 1272359] Re: needs porting to Python 3.4

[Barry Warsaw]

After further investigation, I've found that the aptdaemon test suite
does not pass in any of 2.7, 3.3, or 3.4.  Neither the trusty source
branch, nor the upstream trunk passes all its tests.  This doesn't ftbfs
the package because if you look at d/rules, you'll see that non-zero
exits are ignored.  As aptdaemon isn't stuck in -proposed (this came up
in an archive rebuild), I am not going to spend more time on it for now.

I had suggested we simply disable the DEP 8 tests, but that just
increases the tech debt on this package.  So for now, we'll just wait on
upstream to look into the issue.

  This also failed in autopkgtest, but works in trunk:

    $ PYTHONPATH=. python3.4 tests/test_pk.py
  PackageKitTest.test_install_files

  that maybe because trunk has been fixed for that, or the test is
  flaky.
