amp is not in testing and has 2 RC bugs (other than one about nose), so
I think we do not need to care about it.

So when python-elastic-transport is accepted and elasticsearch-curator is
fixed, we will have no nose reverse-dependencies in testing.

I don't mind if you do this, but in my opinion keeping nose just for one or
two packages is not worth the effort.

I would get it removed, and after that someone can package pynose (a fork) if
they need it.
