Comment (by martin):

 I tried to rebuild the corresponding GIT packages from Debian7 on Debian6
 (which is on TracSVN), but after the n-th element in the dependency chain
 I hit a circular dependency between two different Python module packages
 (python-testtools requires python-fixtures and vice-versa). That's where I
 stopped.

 Therefore I'd suggest to try out if it's possible to lower the
 requirements.

 I might try to install packages directly from Debian7 (requires upgrading
 the libc6 ecosystem beforehand), but that won't happen this weekend.
