Agreed. Even if it did somehow suddenly start happening everywhere on
every build and we had a security fix we needed to get built, we could
just work around it by building without running the testsuite.
It also affected the version in squeeze, and I think even the one in
etch, but I only noticed the recurring pattern more recently.
I've been hoping to get to the bottom of this, but I've still never
managed to reproduce it outside of a buildd, and so there isn't a lot
to go on.
Cheers,
Olly
