One way would be to create a custom finder/loader for sys.path_hooks
[1] that checks the stack for maasserver and rejects the import if
found.

Another would be to land my repackage branch [2] and prevent the
maas-region package from using maas-cluster. This is a big change
though, and would have lots of other side-effects.
