Martin Pitt added the comment:
More precisely, it broke unittest's discovery (not specific to autopilot). For
any installed test, you now get:
$ python -m unittest discover lazr
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: 'test_error' module incorrectly imported from
'/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/lazr/restfulclient/tests'. Expected
'/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/lazr/restfulclient/tests'. Is this module
globally installed?
I reverted this patch in Ubuntu for now as a quickfix.
This might be specific how Debian installs Python 2 modules. Packages ship them
in /usr/share/pyshared/<modulename>/, and for every supported 2.X version, ship
/usr/lib/python2.X/dist-packages/<modulename>/ which contains only the
directories and *.pyc files, but symlinks the *.py files to
/usr/share/pyshared/<modulename>/../*.py
So, it might be that upstream does not support this symlink layout, but it's
the best thing to avoid having to install multiple *.py copies (this is all
solved in a much more elegant way with Python 3, of course). But it would be
nice if unittest's discovery could still cope with this.
Thanks!
