Hi.
I haven't investigated yet but this seems like a thing that could
happen, indeed. For example, some of our test cases include checks
that the output (eg email reports to users) contain (only!) the
expected output, and that means they can be a bit brittle.

To make sure I DTRT, can you confirm which version of dpkg{,-dev} I
ought to be testing with?
