I think we should move the tests to run under autopkgtest, rather than
during the build.  Debian's autopkgtest infrastructure, with things like
blocking migration, is by now quite sophisticated.

On IRC it's also been suggested that we also

- mark dired-test-bug27243-02 as flaky (thanks Arto Jantunen); and

- in the new autopkgtest, don't run the tests in parallel.
