  * Fix debian/tests/upstream: Make the test script count the number of test
    failures, declare them at the end of the test run, and exit with the
    number of failed tests. (LP: #1075612)

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * debian/tests/upstream: Drop du/bigtime test, does not work in our test

Title:
  coreutils autopkgtests do not fail correctly when a test fails

Status in “coreutils” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When running the autopkgtests for coreutils I noticed that some tests
  were getting marked as FAIL but the script was passing and exiting
  with 0 regardless.  The script is running with || { do some other
  things that won't fail } so the set -e had no effect.  I'm not sure
  what the recommended behaviour is for autopkgtests, but in general I
  usually like to see all the test failures in one go, unless there was
  something catastrophically wrong with the whole thing running.  So I
  left the -e in, but updated it a bit to count the failures and exit
  with the total count.
