Fixed.

The experimental version of my blog that I'm using in the tests is the
result of a hacking session and will never make it into a package. I use
it because it is very easy to setup, and because it does some "real
work" (many performance tests just send "Hello world" to the client
which makes the test results useless). The test setup involves
installing python-flask, gunicorn and a copy-paste of the project
directory. If anyone with a FreedomBox wants to perform the same tests I
am willing to gzip the project directory and provide instructions.
