https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/Trusty/view/AutoPkgTest/job/trusty-adt-python-misaka/

clearly shows that the test never did succeed. Yes, it did need a fixed build
dependency, but it still fails the test as before, even after adding the module
as a dependency for the autopkg test.

that would help for the failing tests, but not for the timeouts(?) or still
"RUNNING" tests in the infrastructure.
