I see that fixtures module is optional in the testtools testsuite, is it
incorrect for the package to build-dep on it?

Title:
  Build-dependency loop with python-fixtures

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: python-testtools

  Hi

  python-testtools build-deps on python-fixtures which build-deps on
  python-testtools; this makes backports harder, as well as
  bootstrapping these packages.

  I've greped both way around, and it seems easiest to remove the last mentions of fixtures from python-testtools as it's only used in:
  testtools/tests/test_run.py
  testtools/tests/__init__.py
  testtools/tests/test_fixturesupport.py

  Thanks!
