No one; you should fix your package so that it builds reliably. The very test that's failing includes documentation of why the test is broken and unreliable. Please either fix the test or disable it in the build. Having to retry packages because they sometimes fail is obnoxious, especially when a security update is involved. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
