Hello.
After verifying that it fixes the autopkgtests in Salsa CI, I've
made a team upload incorporating the fix posted by Adrian Bunk
in Bug #1138652 (but I'm not closing the bug again because it's
already closed).
I believe this might make the 0007-FIXME-etc patch unnecessary, but
I'm not completely sure. So, as an intermediate step, I've modified
the patch so that the test is marked as xfail (instead of disabling it).
I apologize to yokota for not handling the MR they did. It looks
like it tries to solve the same problem but in a more intrusive way,
so I decided to apply the fix from Adrian first.
Thanks.
