I don't know what Ubuntu guys did, but I've uploaded a new python-kafka
to Experimental *with* unit tests working! :)

Anyway, the thing to do with failing unit tests is to ... repair them!
That's in fact a huge chunk of the time working on packaging.

As for Debian, we will support Ocata only as an upgrade path to Pike. So
anything quick and dirty is ok. For Pike, we'll make sure everything is
clean. That's what we discussed at debconf 17.

We just make a new package. You can use another package as example. Then
you can upload it to Alioth with the pkgos-alioth-new-git tool (from
openstack-pkg-tools).
