Relax tests on metadata

Note that there are still syntax issues, although non-fatal:

 WARNING: autodoc: failed to import module 'mipp.xsar.mda'; the
following exception was raised:
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/sphinx/ext/autodoc/importer.py",

     from mipp.xsar import sat

     raise IOError, "No such directory: %s" % opt['dir']
                 ^
 SyntaxError: invalid syntax

A bunch of these are logged.

I've sponsored the upload, but you may want to fix these in -2.

Thanks Bas, I didn't noticed it.

The problem is that recently sphinx-build switched to python3 by
default, while mipp is python2 only.
It seems that upstream authors are not interested to port mipp to
python3 (see [1]). They recommend to switch to satpy [2] that provides
many (but not all) features of mipp and python-mpop.

I started working on a satpy packaging (I should add open an ITP
actually), but for the specific problem of mipp I would go with one of
the following two options:

1. simply stop building and distributing sphinx documentation for mipp
   (please note that mipp doc don't seems to be particularly relevant)
2. build-depend on python-sphinx only (non python3-sphinx) to force the
   use of the python2 version of the sphinx-build script.
   This option should raise a lintian warning that we could override.

Do you have any other option to suggest?

Yes, build depend on both, but use the Python 2 version explicitly, see:

https://salsa.debian.org/debian-gis-team/fiona/blob/master/debian/rules#L14

python-sphinx will go away at some point, that's why the lintian tag exist, but in the mean time we can use this.

satpy will be a good alternative when Python 2 will no longer be available in Debian (after Python 2 is removed some time after 2020).

Kind Regards,

Bas
