Bug#693540: autopkgtest: doesn't support versioned dependencies

Package: autopkgtest
Version: 2.2.3
Severity: normal

README-tests says:
> Depends: <dpkg dependency field syntax>

However, if I use a versioned dependency, adt-run throws a hissy fit:

> badpkg: Test Depends field contains dependency `python-nose (>= 0.11)' with invalid characters

Not sure if this is a bug in the spec or the implementation. I'd like to
be able to use versioned dependencies, I think they're useful, so let's
call it an implementation bug.
