Greetings from the Gothenburg BSP.

To summarize the above issue:
- certs used in test-suite expired
- upstream regenerated certs with 500 years expiration time set
- this solves the issue on machines with 64bit time_t
  but 32bit machines still fails the test-suite.
- A suggestion was made to generate certs that expire
  "Tue, 19 Jan 2038 03:14:06 GMT" instead.

On the debian side of things: including the upstream diff is
annoying because debian/patches/ (quilt 3.0) doesn't support
git binary diffs.

The lazy solution here is to argue that we don't want time-bombs and
just disable the test-suite. The better solution involves generating
the certificates so that they align with what 32bit machines can handle,
uuencoding the result and setting up debian/rules handling to "manually
patch" the build.

Andreas Henriksson
