Interestingly I cannot reproduce this issue if I don't use pbuilder
despite network is available. I just built it on some box via SSH
without pbuilder, only with "debuild".

But if I use pbuilder on the very same box and the very same SSH
session, it fails.

So I suspect that some additional build-dependency will help to
circumvent the problem.

One idea I had, was that it tries to download some DTD or such via
https and the test failures depend on which SSL module is used or if
ca-certificates is installed or not.

But then again "fgrep https -r" found no https URLs except under
debian/ (control and copyright). Which means that I currently have no
idea which package could be the missing build-dependency. :-/
