Bug Description
Bug #1989118 shows that python-libmaas was not compatible with python 3.10 and thus made it into an LTS release (and a subsequent non-LTS release) completely broken.
An SRU has been prepared to update the package to the latest upstream version in jammy and kinetic so that it works again.
But even in lunar, this package has no autopkgtests, which would have identified to the Ubuntu developers BEFORE the upgrade to python3.10 that the package was incompatible.
This package should be updated to include the standard sorts of autopkgtests to ensure compatibility with future versions of python (even a simple 'import' as seen in that SRU bug's test case would be enough); or, if this package is of so little importance that no one will notice it is broken for 5 months after an LTS release, it should be dropped from the archive.

Bah - missed the bug - I've just uploaded a new package version with autokpkgtests enabled to Lunar; this includes the autodep8 tests for python and full execution of the unit test suite included with libmaas.
