I tried writing such script and adding it to the build, and use it to
reproduce the error in a powerpc porter box (partch.debian.org).  But
I am unable to reproduce the problem using the git code for 0.8a-4:

PATH=`pwd`/debian/oggvideotools/usr/bin:$PATH ./debian/tests/test-oggjoin
+ cd /tmp/tmp.25t0237HSw
+ echo info: Running autopkgtest script ./debian/tests/test-oggjoin
info: Running autopkgtest script ./debian/tests/test-oggjoin
+ echo info: Generating Ogg Theora file

+ oggSlideshow /usr/share/pixmaps/debian-logo.png

 7.958333               
+ echo info: Copy Ogg Theora file using oggJoin.
info: Copy Ogg Theora file using oggJoin.
+ oggJoin out.ogv slideshow.ogv
+ [ -e out.ogv ]
+ echo success: Ogg Theora file out.ogv created.
success: Ogg Theora file out.ogv created.
+ echo info: test completed successfully
info: test completed successfully
+ at_exit
+ set +x
info: test exiting, removing /tmp/tmp.25t0237HSw

Am I testing the wrong thing?
