I got the DEP 8 tests working, although I had to disable one unittest in test_daemon.py. I wasn't able to get this test to pass both under binary package build time and under autopkgtests. Please take a look, but it seemed not terribly important, so I just commented it out.
This should address all the issues with the packaging. I'm happy to merge and upload it after your positive review (of course, it'll have to get approved by the archive admins due to the new binary packages).
