Just out of curiosity, how do you run autopkgtests in pbuilder?  I
couldn't find any documentation about it.

I think this is way too drastic and such approach should be used as a
last resort (ideally coordinated with upstream as well).  Only 2 test
files out of 310 fail which indicates that the package is far from
broken on i386 (cmdlineparseroutput is flaky and should be always
disabled).  I suggest to skip 2dimage-cost-lsd and 3d-vectorfield
tests on 32-bit architectures for the time being, at least until
someone with better C++ knowledge investigates the real culprit.

Right; I'll do this.  I'll also remove the SALSA_BUILD stuff as
apparently it's not needed.

The autopkgtest and reprotest tests failed due to a libtool bug
(#1118477) which has been fixed in the meantime.

The piuparts test fails for me locally too because the binary packages
in the archive (from -13) are not installable (they depend on old
library packages that are no longer available).  I think (but I'm not
sure) that when britney schedules this test, the inevitable failure
will not be a blocker for the migration of the package to testing.
