One data point.

Ubuntu is currently shipping lazr.restfulclient with its tests disabled,
becuase its testsuite requires lazr.restful, and as you hint elsewhere
in your mail the latter has a rather large dependency list.

This isn't ideal, and I would like to correct it in future releases,
but the overhead of packagin all those extra dependencies didn't seem
worth it.

Thanks,

James
