I took a look into the build problem and found out that the best way
should be to just remove the two failing files test_progress.py and
test_apt_cache.py for Hurd from the tests directory. The second best
would be to modify the override_dh_auto_test target in the
debian/rules file, like the diff inlined below created by diff -u
rules.old rules > fix-gnu-hurd-tests.diff

Modifying rules this way completely disables the tests under Hurd until
the file locking problem is solved, but is building the .debs properly.
I even tried to create a patch by cresting a patches directory and add a
patch there, but that will be for later, I'm not yet fluent in creating,
modifying or patching Debian packages.
However, I did some studies on how to create a patch but was confused by
which tool to use, dpatch or quilt, package file format version etc. It
looks like the source format 3.0 (quilt) is not used for python-apt but
how to figure it out? No patches directory is present under the debian/
directory.
