Hi,

I don't agree with adding:
export http_proxy = http://127.0.9.1:9

on top of debian/rules. The reason is that, by doing this, you are
hiding problems. If a python package downloads something using pip or
anything else, it most likely means that you forgot a build-depends.
This show in this very bug (eg: #690575). So remove it, and if during
the build process something tries to download a python package, then you
need to simply fix your build-depends.

I'm open to discussions on this very subject though.

By the way, I have just added the use of update-alternatives in the
package so that it provides /usr/bin/coverage for those (upstream code
or users) who needs it. After this, I think the package is up to shape
for an upload: I tested it against some of the upstream code I maintain,
and it generated correctly the expected coverage report.

Please get in touch so that I can (hopefully, soon, if we agree) sponsor
the upload of this package in Sid.

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)
