[Bug 1548972] Re: strcred.py is missing from packaging on Twisted 16/Xenial

[Mike Pontillo]

I just checked the 15.5 package and the cred.strcred doesn't exist
there, either.

It looks like this started occurring because this file is now included
in packaging, where it wasn't before:

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/twisted/plugins/cred_sshkeys.py

So either it actually shouldn't be included, or twisted.cred.strcred has
been fixed for python3 and just not included in the package. (for what
it's worth, I ran it through a python3 compile and it worked, but I'm
not sure what the requirements are - perhaps it didn't pass a test?
Perhaps cred_sshkeys is included because it passes the test, but only
with the [broken] strcred module.)

  While developing MAAS, I noticed the following traceback:

  It looks like this file exists in the upstream distribution, but not
  in the .deb:

  $ dpkg -L python3-twisted | grep strcred
  /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/twisted/cred/test/test_strcred.py

  $ apt-get source python3-twisted
  $ cd twisted-16.0.0~pre1
  $ find . | grep strcred
  ./twisted/cred/strcred.py
  ./twisted/cred/test/test_strcred.py
