i tried to build the emacs package from git. It failed during its internal testing (i was able to build with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck), but i don't understand the failure. I'm including a transcript here, but am happy to provide other information if it would be useful for debugging.
Control: found 1106187 + 1:30.2+1-11 For the record, it's over a year later, and the situation still seems to be the same for me.
