Dear maintainer(s),

Your package has an autopkgtest, great. However, I looked into
the history of your autopkgtest [1] on i386 (because it is blocking
glib2.0) and I noticed it fails regularly, while a rerun passes. I
copied some of the output at the bottom of this report.

Because the unstable-to-testing migration software now blocks on
regressions in testing, flaky tests, i.e. tests that flip between
passing and failing without changes to the list of installed packages,
are causing people unrelated to your package to spend time on these
tests.

Please do get in touch if we need to dive into this together. Or if you
want to discuss this issue. I noticed that all the failed runs I checked
were done on the same worker. Could the problem be a timing issue? (The
worker has a spinning disk and is slower than our other workers).

Paul
