Could you store one correct and one incorrect rendering of one of the
examples somewhere? I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be getting in all
cases.

Yeah, you're right about the buildd strain being something to watch out
for. At the same time, if we want people to test and submit bug reports,
frequent releases are a good thing. As etch comes closer to release, we
probably should be more conservative and let the buildds work on more
important packages. So it's about finding the right balance at the given
moment, and a single fix like the one in -6 was definitely too little.
Bad call on my side.

Could we automate this by storing md5sums of the expected results in the
source package, and comparing the md5sums of the actual synfig results
to the expected results, and complain if they don't match? I presume the
result is deterministic across all platforms, of course...
