It doesn't look to me like we're really using the functionality of the utils package (e.g., doesn't include Citizen, so lsst.utils.tests.init and MemoryTestCase not useful), so it could be easily refactored to completely remove the dependency.

I believe it's only required for SWIG-ed packages, so it's probably vestigial or cargo-culting, and can be removed.  Please try it and check.
