python3-mock is not usefull in a Python3-only world.

Here's a patch to remove it.

I see you are also active in the upstream repository;
so it should be trivial.

Greetings

Dear maintainer,

I've prepared an NMU for networkd-dispatcher (versioned as 2.2.4-1.2) and
uploaded it to DELAYED/15. Please feel free to tell me if I
should cancel it.

Regards.
