Thanks!
Yes, git HEAD plus my changes from Saturday make the tests pass.

I'm afraid this doesn't work, the build still fails (without my patch
attempt), now with tons of errors like

testWatch4WebNonNativeSigAngleBraketTab
uscan warn: In watchfile debian/watch, reading webpage
  http://localhost:40879// failed: 500 Can't connect to 127.0.0.1:9

So it looks like setting a "fake" proxy is not the right way, we need
to make sure the variable(s) is/are unset.


Neither does

    override_dh_auto_test:
        http_proxy= dh_auto_test

(or unsetting them in override_dh_auto_test) work which I had already
tried before coming up with the ugly patch), in both cases the uscan
tests try to contact my "original" http_proxy.


Cheers,
gregor
