Obviously, nose-parameterized addresses these issues...
I welcome you to provide a better package description. If upstream
doesn't take the time to write a better one, well sorry, but I don't
really have the time either, I just packaged that one because I needed
python-nose-timer to get in, and it depends on it (and I need nose-timer
to package Fuel). If you do have the time, then great! I'll be happy to
integrate a better package description on the next upload.
Cheers,
