You recently added an autopkgtest to your package xdg-utils, great.
However, it fails. Currently this failure is blocking the migration to

There are several ways to fix the failure.
1. Replace `debian/rules patch` line in a test script with `chmod +x
autotests/tty{on,off}`.

2. Put the "patch" target back as it was in -3 revision, and fix arch-
independent build.

I still prefer the later option with the "patch" target. Because that
chmod fixes flaws of quilt and dpkg and this solutions is more
universal. I hope someone will choose to upload another one-liner fix.
You can ship the files directly in the debian.tar by adding them to
debian/source/include-binaries, and that way you don't need to call chmod as
their mode will be preserved. That would probably help with this autopkgtest
patch issue.
