Dear Maintainer,

The standard for running a Python package's test suite is

$ python setup.py test

with possible, multiple -v options for increased verbosity.  In Python
3.3, or with distutils2, it will be

$ pysetup test

dh_auto_test should support this for Python packages.  It might also
make sense to use this in preference to running 'make check' even if
there is a Makefile present.

Adding this will eliminate the requirement to use
override_dh_auto_test, along with the headaches of having to manually
support multiple versions of Python and DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck.
