It consistently fails for me on albeniz, and so does 5.210-1 so this
seems to affect squeeze as well.

It looks like the test broke with libanyevent-perl_5.251-1. I don't have
the time to investigate more right now. FWIW, the current libanyevent-perl
version does pass its own test suite on albeniz, so it doesn't seem to
be totally broken.

BTW, I think the current debian/rules backend selection is potentially
buggy as it's looking for substrings in the arch list, meaning "mips"
matches "mipsel" and "i386" matches "kfreebsd-i386".

The backend selection doesn't seem to make a difference though; I tried
all the sensible configuration options on albeniz with no luck.
