Hi Max-

Vincent has been looking into this. It looks like upgrading to the
pristine-tar in precise brings us from 300 failures to about 250,
upgrading to Q's pristine-tar actually brings us to about 150 failures.

We're trying to work with webops to get Jubany at least upgraded from
Lucid to Precise, and then follow it up with something beyond that.
We're considering trying to get an LXC running Q, or maybe just
backporting Q's pristine-tar for precise.
