Bug#822722: RFS: tldp/0.7.7 [ITP #822181]

as you wish, please consider that we have a wide range of Debian derivatives too, so
having a testsuite might help your software in becoming more robus against different versions
of compilers, flags, libraries, etc

as you wish, but...
http://debomatic-amd64.debian.net/distribution#unstable/tldp/0.7.12-1/buildlog
the three test are failing on a clean sbuild environment

borgbackup is maintained with mixed histories (debian and upstream git commits)
in the borg.git debian repository (collab-maint)

completely correct!
anyway, it was failing to build on DebOMatic sbuild, but not on local
pbuilder-dist environment.
I sponsored it to new queue, we will see once the package is accepted how the build goes
with Ubuntu builders (please don't forget that :p)
in the meanwhile feel free to experiment some builds and ask me for sponsorship of a -2 revision
if you have a testsuite fix.
thanks for your contribution to Debian!
