this package still depends on python 2.6

[Laurent Bonnaud]

In natty, python-zope.testing is one of the last few packages to still depend on python 2.6 instead of python 2.7. It prevents from installing gaphor without python2.6:

# apt-get install gaphor

So could you please update python-zope.testing to depend on python2.7?

This is because two scripts are installed, zope-testrunner2.6 and zope-testrunner2.7 to run with different python versions. Should be changed to use default python (per Python Policy) and use `python2.7 zope-testrunner` if a particular version of python is needed (in test_helper script).

I have uploaded zope.hookable 3.4.1-6ubuntu1 that drops dependency on zope.testing. So zope.component and, in turn, gaphor will not depend on it.

Forgot to mention bug number, but this upload will drop dependency on python2.6:

------------------------------------------------------
 zope.testing (3.9.4-0ubuntu2) natty; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/rules: do not mess with scripts, install only
     /usr/bin/zope-testrunner using default python.
   * debian/test_helper: adapt to changed name of zope-testrunner, execute it
     with different python interpreters instead.
   * debian/tests/all: use our own test_helper.

Thank you for the fix!
