The buildmaster tests rely on bringing up a slave. If we're going to separate launchpad-buildd from Launchpad, we need to either:
 - make it bring up the slave, by running a separately-installed slave
 - not have any code-level tests that rely on starting an actual slave, and count on testing that during integration
The former seems better.

So we possibly want a separate launchpad-buildd-fixtures package. For the moment I'll just try to get the tests to work in-tree, but not duplicated.
