The main current issue is that several tests, at least when run under sbuild/cowbuilder, enters infinite loops stat()-ing forever "/PKG-INFO". I have been unable to find the cause, but it's somewhat specific to the Debian build environment in conjunction with pytest. In addition to that there are some test failures too, but they look easy to fix (and the patches should probably be sent upstream for integration). I don't see myself having more time than I already devoted to this in time for the next freeze. But if you're up to tackling this, I can provide more info, e.g., I've a list of the affected tests, in case it might help finding a pattern. The *general* pattern is that tests that exec() stuff are impacted, but it's not specific enough (at least for me) to pinpoint the issue.
