The autopkgtest lapack-testsuite has been added in revision 3.6.0-1,
sot
he failure is technically not a regression. Actually the testsuite
hasalways been failing on some arches (but only a few tests out of
several thousands), but the testsuite was only run a buildtime and the
failure was not made fatal, to avoid FTBFSes. So I'm adjusting the
severity and the title.

I was aware of the failure but decided to nevertheless add that testsuite as an autopkgtest, in order to make the test failures more visible.

On amd64 there is a failure in a single test (out of several thousands) that has been reported upstream. For other archs more investigation is needed.

Maybe I could make the autopkgtest more verbose by printing the test summary. But that summary can be seen anyways in the build log (since the testsuite is also run at build time).
