I did in
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntuone-client/13.07-0ubuntu2,
but it's still failing due to some bug. That's now infrastructure and
hence in JB's/my corner, so don't worry.

Agreed. It's already removed from the internal Jenkins, just the
public one needs to be handled by IS (sorry, forgot about it). It's
gone now.

Right. I uploaded a new version with the new "Restrictions:
allow-stderr".

It says here:

  adt-run: trace: & dsc0t-run-tests:  - - - - - - - - - - results - - - - - - - - - -
  dsc0t-run-tests      FAIL status: 0, stderr: + python ./setup.py build test clea...

You see that the job has a "stderr" attachment, like here:
https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/Saucy/view/AutoPkgTest/job/saucy-adt-dirspec/2/ARCH=amd64,label=adt/

Thanks!
