netgen fails for me doing:

 autopkgtest --pin-packages=unstable=src:openmpi,src:pmix,src:prrte --add-apt-source="deb http://deb.debian.org/debian unstable main" . -- unshare -r testing

The two tests fail because of a missing 'dpkg-architecture'. Adding dpkg-dev to the dependencies in tests/control makes the tests pass.

I think dpkg-dev is supposed to be already installed in a standard
installation (so, already installed on debci, which is not failing).

But we are using dpkg-architecture explicitly,
so we can declare the dependency explicitly.

We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of
netgen, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive.

A summary of the changes between this version and the previous one is
attached.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 1150068@bugs.debian.org,
and the maintainer will reopen the bug report if appropriate.

Changes:
 netgen (6.2.2606+dfsg1-3) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Team upload.
   * debian/tests Depends: dpkg-dev (for dpkg-architecture). Closes: #1150068
   * netgen Depends: libnglib-dev instead of libnglib-6.2t64
     (>= ${binary:Version}). Tcl is not smart about shared libraries,
     treating "libnglib.so" literally, and is ignorant of the ABI.
     Closes: #1150173, #1125008.
   * move debian/menu to netgen.menu
