Title:
  requests Testsuite: autopkgtest-pkg-python but module includes '.' and
  no import_name set

Status in python-oslo.versionedobjects package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in python-oslo.versionedobjects source package in Bionic:
  New

Bug description:
  [impact]

  the (trivial) autopkgtest for this package always fails, since some
  change in upstream autodep8, dctrl-tools, or autopkgtest code that has
  changed the import module name used.

  The problem is the autodep8-generated test used to correctly calculate
  the module name to import as "oslo_versionedobjects", but now
  incorrectly calculates it as "oslo.versionedobjects". This is likely
  due to the autodep8 test generation script changing all '-' chars to
  '_', but not '.' to '_'. With python2, this package created a (dummy)
  binary package named python-oslo-versionedobjects, while with python3
  it provides only python3-oslo.versionedobjects.

  [test case]

  check the autopkgtests, e.g.:
  https://objectstorage.prodstack4-5.canonical.com/v1/AUTH_77e2ada1e7a84929a74ba3b87153c0ac/autopkgtest-bionic/bionic/amd64/p/python-oslo.versionedobjects/20210113_184523_626c0@/log.gz

  [regression potential]

  any regression would almost certainly be limited to failing to run the
  autodep8 test, or an incorrect pass or incorrect fail of the autodep8
  test.

  [scope]

  This was detected and fixed starting in cosmic with this version:
  http://launchpadlibrarian.net/375048921/python-oslo.versionedobjects_1.33.1-0ubuntu1_1.33.1-0ubuntu2.diff.gz

  This fix was not backported to bionic or earlier.

  [other info]

  as this is a trivial autopkgtest fix, I'll add block-proposed-bionic,
  and really this bug probably doesn't even need a fix uploaded, as this
  package's tests haven't been run for bionic in 2 years, so it should
  be enough to just point to this bug as explanation for why to ignore
  this package's failing autopkgtests on bionic.

  I specifically opened this bug due to reverse-depends autopkgtest
  failure of this package in bionic, as a result of updating python-
  oslo.messaging package for bug 1789177.
