This is not necessarily true, for example:

$ cat
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/python_novaclient-2.9.0.17.g05bbe0f.egg-info/requires.txt
httplib2
iso8601>=0.1.4
prettytable>=0.6,<0.7
simplejson

$ dpkg -S
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/python_novaclient-2.9.0.17.g05bbe0f.egg-info/requires.txt
python-novaclient:
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/python_novaclient-2.9.0.17.g05bbe0f.egg-info/requires.txt

Any *other* python package that both depends on novaclient and uses entry
points to load code via `pkg_resources` will validate those requirements.

I was bitten by this with keystone yesterday, as mentioned in my previous
mail on this thread.
