Thanks for your attention, everyone.

Would it be a sensible idea for me to upload stunt versions of dgit to
experimental with different attempts at workarounds for the gnupg bug,
and retrigger the test using some rune like that ?

I will look at the test suite metadata and see if that provides a
hint.

Paul, I guess there is no way to see per-test autopkgtest results ?
