Exactly one third of it: the same suite is run once for each of the backends built, namely bdb, hdb, and mdb. The page size issue renders mdb totally non-functional under the newer kernel.

Actually, yes. Improved debdiff below; and sorry for not thinking of this myself.

(The diff doesn't have as much context as I'd like: the debian/rules addition is just appended to the end of the file.)

As before:
- built locally on amd64, verified all three test suites were run
- built on the powerpc porterbox (partch), verified bdb and hdb test suites were run but not mdb
- tested amd64 binaries in a clean wheezy chroot
- tested powerpc binaries in a qemu VM running wheezy (all backends)

thanks,
Ryan
