1.99.6 autopkgtest fails on - AssertionError: assert 'Bitstream Vera Sans Mono' == 'monospace'

[Christian Ehrhardt ]

That was blocked by a autopkgtest-fail that happens in Ubuntu
  https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/p/pyspread
and Debian
  https://ci.debian.net/packages/p/pyspread/
with the new 1.99.6-1 version.
This was already brought up in April in
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=986488
but not handled since then.

Note: This package is uncommon as it always runs the testsuite code and tests
against the same other packages but NOT against a packaged pyspread.
This happens because pyspread is not installed as dependency, only via the test
that extracts it. Therefore it is not necesarily always testing what you think.
For example you can not run the 1.99.6 test against the 1.99.5 binaries or
vice versa.

I found, debugged and fixed the broken testcase.
I reported it and a fix upstream.

  https://gitlab.com/pyspread/pyspread/-/merge_requests/36

I also bumped the Debian bug as FYI

Thanks to various people in #ubuntu-desktop for my journey through font-land.

While we are waiting for upstream and Debian to pick this up I have uploaded the fix to impish to get it out of update-excuses for now (Since it is only a test and not a real issue that should be fine).
