Bug Description

I tried installing python-testtools from the testing-cabal PPA:

Setting up python-testtools (0.9.11+bzr228~ppa32~oneiric1) ...
Compiling /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/testtools/tests/test_with_with.py ...

    with ExpectedException(ValueError, 'tes.'):

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of python-fixtures:
 python-fixtures depends on python-testtools (>= 0.9.11); however:
  Package python-testtools is not configured yet.

Oops!

---------------
python-testtools (0.9.14-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Add python3-testtools package.
  * Migrate to debhelper 7, for easier packaging for Python3.
