There are several ways to fix the failure.

1. Replace `debian/rules patch` line in a test script with `chmod +x
autotests/tty{on,off}`.

2. Put the "patch" target back as it was in -3 revision, and fix arch-
independent build.

I still prefer the later option with the "patch" target. Because that
chmod fixes flaws of quilt and dpkg and this solutions is more
universal. I hope someone will choose to upload another one-liner fix.
