Bug identified, it's a harmless ordering issue (the test does not
properly sort outputs, expecting the database resultset to be stable).
However attempts to sort uncovered a much more serious issue, so the
whole fix is scheduled for 0.08196.

In any case the *functionality* of 0.08195 currently shipped with
sid/testing is not affected by this, it is just a suboptimal test.

Please mark the bug with the appropriate "waiting on nextver" tag
(whatever it is :)

Cheers
