Gregor said something and it sounded if he hadn't time to look closer
and may say some more things later.

Since that bug has 

| Fix blocked by 723931: src:libdist-zilla-plugin-requiresexternal-perl:
| FTBFS when verbose tests are enabled: Tests out of sequence., 723932:
| src:libdist-zilla-plugin-requiresexternal-perl: FTBFS with verbose
| tests enabled, 723930: src:libdist-zilla-perl: FTBFS with verbose
| tests enabled: t/plugins/testrelease.t fails

… I suggest we should have closer look at this, too, in that context.

Hadn't time to run debhelper with these patches, but the idea and
patches look helpful to me.

I though wonder if this is a feature which should depend on the
compatibility level. (No opinion there, though, just wondering.)
