I have 7.19.5-2ubuntu1 ready to go into Utopic as soon as the FFE is approved (LP: #1376736). Unfortunately, due to an upstream packaging bug, the test suite was not included in the tarball, and I elected not to re-add it in the Debian version (7.19.5-2). My plan is to re-enable it once upstream releases a new version, and exactly as you state, add a DEP-8 test that runs the test suite.

However, even with python-bottle installed, not all tests pass. That's as far as I got during a pycurl merge, so I'll leave this bug here for another time.
