I reset this bug back to in progress, and assigned it to me, because using ubuntu_sso for this introduces a circular dependency, which we need to avoid. The solution here is to migrate to the new dirspec library. I have a branch to do this, as well as a branch for dirspec which implements the necessary API to use it here.

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntuone-dev-tools - 2.99.1-0ubuntu1

---------------
ubuntuone-dev-tools (2.99.1-0ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
    - Depends on dirspec now (LP: #888619)
    - Pass options through to trial (LP: #890786)
  * debian/control:
    - Move python-gobject to Suggests
    - Suggest python-qt4reactor
  * debian/rules:
    - Convert to pure dh
    - Run unit tests during build
