Title:
   autopkgtest: doesn't support versioned dependencies

Status in “autopkgtest” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “autopkgtest” package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
