It turns out that the profile test was segfaulting in an sbuild chroot
due to eatmydata, which uses a small LD_PRELOAD library to disable
fsync() and related calls.

This is a bit unfortunate, since dpkg is an order of magnitude faster
with eatmydata; but it does not affect the buildds, which no longer
use eatmydata [2].
