Indeed, that was it -- thanks! The test passes for me when I give
network access to my pbuilder build environment. I'm now testing
a 2.0.0-2 tentative package with this patch applied. If it works fine
for me, then I'll upload tomorrow.

Bumping severity, after discussing it with Lunar (who leaned the other
way) and making up my mind: on the one hand, "not supporting some
usecases" in torsocks is entirely acceptable; on the other hand,
aborting an application altogether, which can cause data loss, is no
good way to communicate "your usecase is not supported" to
a torsocks user.

Cheers,
