Could
<URL: https://people.debian.org/~mpitt/autopkgtest/README.package-tests.html >
contain the key to why these test are failing? It states
"The cwd of each test is guaranteed to be the root of the source

that the tests must test the installed version of the program. Tests
may not modify the source tree (and may not have write access to it)."
If so, the following patch might help:
