Circular (repository) dependency with tsdb

[TheTincho]

Hi,

I am starting to prepare the Debian packages for 2.0, including packaging new dependencies like prometheus/tsdb. While doing that I notice that it depends on prometheus/prometheus/pkg, thus making packaging an order of magnitude more complex.

Wouldn't it make sense to move this to common?

This is just a testing dependency so we can conveniently read an input file of test data.
I'd rather not move pkg/textparse to the common repository (or anything anymore really).

Do you have to include testing deps? I suppose I'd then rather just make those use the common parser, even though it's a bit more hassle to use.

I had not noticed it was only for tests. But since we run all tests during build, I need to either disable the tests or include the dep...
