Please sync python-apt 0.9.3.5 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

This fixes some bugs:

* The old utils/get_ubuntu_mirrors.py which was replaced by
  utils/get_ubuntu_mirrors_from_lp.py is removed. It is
  completely broken and unused.

* doc/source/conf.py now works with Python 3, for people
  running sphinx under Python 3 (just removing an useless
  'r' prefix from strings)

* The packaging now adheres to the current Python Policy
  WRT X-Python-Version. We still create the Provides for
  python3.4-apt, though (we do not depend on other Python
  modules, so the reasons other don't have the provides
  do not really apply to us)

* apt_pkg.TagFile() throws an exception at some later point
  (usually not directly after the return, because we set
   an exception, but return a normal value) if the file object
  does not have an encoding attribute. [Python 3]

* Dropped the shadowing of "_" in loop variables.

It also removes some Python 2.6 specific code in the test
suite, but that's a minor change that has no real impact.

The mirror lists were also automatically updated from Launchpad
as part of the build process.

Changelog entries since current trusty version 0.9.3.4build1:
