[Letsencrypt-devel] Bug#894025: python-certbot-dns-cloudflare: Fails to build from source

[Harlan Lieberman-Berg]

Hm, so, we've never shipped the testdata.  All the way back to the first
tag (0.0.0.dev20151104-1), we've removed the testdata.  It's only for the
test cases, so we don't ship it out in the debs.

An update to the python version caused the way that it was being deleted to
break a while ago, it looks like.  A user reported it to me recently
because it was causing chkrootkit to trip on their systems, so I fixed the
removal in 8bb2938.

I'm not sure what we should do here.  Shipping the testdata isn't a huge
amount of resources for the end user, though it's a bit annoying that it's
causing some security stuff to complain.  We could create an intermediary
package that just ships the testdata that we could B-D on, but that seems
potentially unnecessary for the additional load on the ftpmasters and the
archive.  We could also ask upstream to ship the testdata that each package
needs with each package.

Thoughts?
