So. We hit this issue when bootstrapping packages on our Debian
derivative distribution, where sysvinit-utils may not be present.
[ 278s] test_unicode (__main__.NullRunner)
[ 279s] Unicode test output ... ok
[ 279s] test_unskippable (__main__.NullRunner)

But I think it is something for us to check as to how our build chroots
ended up avoiding the essential sysvinit-utils pacakge.
So yes, I think for this bug report, it can be closed given the
package's attributes are set correct.
