Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that
python-slimmer could not be built reproducibly.

This is because it ships a different binary package depending on
whether the testsuite is run or not.

Specifically, it does not remove the html files directory that are
added via PYBUILD_BEFORE_TEST. A patch is attached that will remove
these files after running the tests, but if the binary package really
does need these files at runtime for whatever reason (e.g. for
autopkgtests), then the package needs to ensure that this directory
exists regardless of whether nocheck is specified or not.

Patch attached.
