Yeah, had noticed already, along the piuparts failure. And in a way
I'm “happy” it behaved this way, so I've been able to check which of
the new test cases are problematic, w/o disrupting the propagation
of the security fix. :) The issue is that the new test suite harness
expects specific exit codes from the test cases, which I had in my
initial patch when switching to the TAP output but discarded as unneeded
(at the time).

Anyway, as the test failure is not really important, and I really want
this version in testing, I'll wait until that happens to consider
uploading a fixed version.

Thanks,
Guillem
