Hello Benjamin,

This is most likely because in oneiric the standard umask for
non-system users is 002 now, for users which are in a private user
group. I. e. new files get created with 664 permissions now.

As the "buildd" user is such a user, this would explain the test suite
failure. As the test suite seems to assume a 022 umask, I suggest
running the tests with an "umask 022" statement.

Martin
