So, for some reason that I can't quite fathom, but it's something to do with 
zcml, lp.shipit is getting imported, which in turn seems to import the whole 
world.

The whole world includes lp.testing, which in turn imports launchpadlib and 
hence the keyring.  Which installs a SIGCHLD handler.

Ummm, why is lp.shitpit doing that?
