Definitely not for me.

I'd really like to see what's going on there. Or even better it would make a
lot of sense for upstream to see what happens there. On the other hand this
seems to be a vey special problem not hitting anyone who's interested in using
citadel.

Again the question is whether this is a special solution needed for the
piuparts tests or something that remotely could hit people that install
citadel to use it.
