I'll drop the python-apt task as it's tracked in bug 1445949 but we
can't make this bug a duplicate because of the other tasks.

** No longer affects: python-apt (Ubuntu)

Title:
  Plainbox tests are broken by PEP 440 incompatible Debian/Ubuntu

  Confirmed
Status in apturl package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in ufw package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  When running unit tests on my vivid VM I've noticed that many tests
  fail because there are extra lines printed by pkg_resources:

  - /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py:2512: PEP440Warning: 'apturl (0.5.2ubuntu6)' is being parsed as a legacy, non PEP 440, version. You may find odd behavior and sort order. In particular it will be sorted as less than 0.0. It is recommend to migrate to PEP 440 compatible versions.
  -   PEP440Warning,
  - /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py:2512: PEP440Warning: 'python-apt (0.9.3.11build1)' is being parsed as a legacy, non PEP 440, version. You may find odd behavior and sort order. In particular it will be sorted as less than 0.0. It is recommend to migrate to PEP 440 compatible versions.
  -   PEP440Warning,
  - /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py:2512: PEP440Warning: 'ufw (0.34-rc-0ubuntu5)' is being parsed as a legacy, non PEP 440, version. You may find odd behavior and sort order. In particular it will be sorted as less than 0.0. It is recommend to migrate to PEP 440 compatible versions.
  -   PEP440Warning,

  
  I've discussed this with Barry Warsaw and a few other people and the result is that yes, it's a bug in _each_ of those packages and those should be fixed.

  I think there are two things we need to do:
   - a long term plan should be based on fixing all of those one by one upstream in debian/ubuntu
   - a short term plan should be to prevent those additional lines from break our tests
