My deviation from upstream here was intentional.  The purpose being to
fail the autopkgtest, and our users should never ever see the failure,
as autopkgtest would prevent this package from ever migrating to
testing.

However, I do agree that your solution is more elegant, and also does
not incur the burden of maintaining a patch.   When I get a chance
tomorrow, I will try your suggestion in an autopkgtest in addition to
the pkg-r-autopkgtest that is already run.

Thanks again for your input on this issue!
