Yes, I think, it's the way to go with oslotest specifically. Created a
change request for this: https://review.openstack.org/118551

It has been pointed out to me that one case where it won't be so easy is

We can make eventlet an optional dependency of oslo.messaging (through
setuptools' extras). In fact I don't quite understand the need for eventlet
as direct dependency there since we can just write code that uses threading
library and it'll get monkeypatched if consumer app wants to use eventlet.

The setup.cfg classifiers should be able to do that for us, though PBR

I don't think so - it loads all classifiers from setup.cfg, they should be
available through some distutils machinery.

We will also need to learn to upload potentially >1

I guess we can just repeat that check with Python 3.x. If I see it right,
all we need is to repeat loop in pbr/tools/integration.sh with different
Python version. The problem might occur that we'll be running this test
with Python 3.4 that is default on trusty but all our unittests jobs run on
3.3 instead. May be we should drop 3.3 already?
