Dear maintainer(s),

Your package has an autopkgtest, great. However, I looked into
the history of your autopkgtest [1] and I noticed it fails regularly
(all with the same error) amd64, arm64 and armhf.

Because the unstable-to-testing migration software now blocks on
regressions in testing, flaky tests, i.e. tests that flip between
passing and failing without changes to the list of installed packages,
are causing people unrelated to your package to spend time on these
tests.

Paul
