   Result: FAIL
 
The build log is rather hard to read as there are intentional test
failures sprayed all over, but I think the main thing that is new is
messages like this:

  Cloning into '/tmp/uGVjCBrSr3/libfoo'...
  fatal: transport 'file' not allowed
  fatal: clone of 'file:///tmp/hhqN4NFWJc' into submodule path '/tmp/uGVjCBrSr3/libfoo' failed

I've tested that building in bookworm succeeds, but injecting
git_1%3a2.38.1-1_amd64.deb (and git-man_1%3a2.38.1-1_all.deb) makes it
fail. I assume this is about

  https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2022-39253

which was fixed in git 1:2.38.1-1.
