[Bug 1164362] [NEW] autopkgtest: doesn't support versioned dependencies

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement]

Public bug reported:

>From debbug #693540

"""
README-tests says:
> Depends: <dpkg dependency field syntax>

However, if I use a versioned dependency, adt-run throws a hissy fit:

> badpkg: Test Depends field contains dependency `python-nose (>= 0.11)'
with invalid characters

Not sure if this is a bug in the spec or the implementation. I'd like to be able to use versioned dependencies, I think they're useful, so let's call it an implementation bug.
