Dear FTP-Masters,

Alike the previos removal of "dh-buildinfo", (see #1068809 [0]);
python3-pytest-subtests is now a virtual Provides: of python3-pytest.

Some unfinised work has been started to remove the explicit dependencies
on python3-pytest-subtests, more bugs [1] have been filled to request
a full cleansing...

I'm now asking to remove python-pytest-subtests without
waiting on these bugs.

This will also help unclutter Pytest excuses tracker:

Greetings


Alexandre
