As per IRC discussion with @OddBloke, this whole problem will go away
with the next Focal SRU. We'll stand the bddeb failures up to that
point, they're not worth a non-trivial fix.

Title:
  bddep misses dependencies introduced by debian/patches

Status in cloud-init:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  When the packages/bddeb script is called from the ubuntu/focal branch
  it constructs a source package with missing build dependencies (pytest
  and pytest-cov). The package is therefore unsuitable for testing.

  The problem is due to the fact that the missing dependencies are
  introduced in test-requirements.txt by a patch in debian/patches.
  bddeb runs tools/read-dependencies to construct the list of
  dependencies, however when read-dependencies is run the patch is not
  applied, so the additional dependencies are missed.

  One solution is: call

    dpkg-source --before-build <target>

  right before calling read-dependencies. The command applies all the
  patches, so the dep can be found. The same command with --after-build
  can be used to unapply the patches.

  Problem: read-dependencies is not run from the *target* directory, but
  from the directory where the git repo has been cloned. Easiest
  solution: always pass the full path of the requirements file to read-
  dependencies via --requirements-file.
