python comes with libraries removed (like profile), but without tests removed

Package: python
Version: 2.5.1-0ubuntu3
Severity: normal

Python (I suppose all of them, not just 2.5) has removed some libraries,
due to violation of terms (like profile.py) or because it makes no sense
to include them (like apple*). But tests for those libraries are not removed
and it spreads confusion. It also probably violates license as well,
since they come from the same source as a library
