It's unfortunately sometimes a bit harder than what one may think. 
Removing Nose from (build-)depends in some cases is hard, and IMO we 
started this process a way too late. Hopefully, Trixie will be 
nose-free! In the mean time, it is unfortunately my opinion that it's 
too late for Bookworm and that we must keep Nose for one more release.
