Huh? This isn't about pinning dependencies. Packages must be functional at install time without needing an apt-get upgrade.
If parts of python-novaclient do not function with older versions of python-six, *that is a bug.* It's not specific to us. In fact, the version in utopic already has the fix:
python-six (>= 1.7.0)
So we could experiment with using the utopic version in our PPA, or ask the Server Team to pull the fix from utopic to the icehouse cloud archive with us then PPA-copying it over.
