Blockers:
- Needs team bug subscriber

Not blocker but should be fixed:
- Should add ${sphinxdoc:Depends} to Depends line. The shipped documentation has broken links without it.

Discussion point:
- Why does the nosetest call use --exclude-dir=mistralclient/tests/functional? Not only does that mean we must Build-Depend on python-nose-exclude, which is in universe, but it skips tests. Looks like enabling those tests would mean pulling in python-tempest (also in universe) which blows up because it can't find its own /etc/tempest/tempest.conf... So OK. Maybe that's why they're excluded. But functional tests sound great! Would it be difficult to enable them and get them working?

We've uploaded a new version of the package with functional tests enabled, however it ignores the files that need tempest. It does at least drop the dep for python-nose-exclude. Also added ${sphinxdoc:Depends} and added a team bug subscriber. Thanks.

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

Looks good then, thanks!
