Bug#800424: libdevel-cover-perl: FTBFS on i386 (Linux + Hurd, not kFreeBSD)

[Axel Beckert]

Control: tag -1 + upstream
Control: forwarded -1 https://github.com/pjcj/Devel--Cover/issues/143 
Control: retitle -1 libdevel-cover-perl: FTBFS occasionally due to non-deterministically failing tests (t/e2e/aeval_merge.t, t/e2e/eval_merge.t)

This is a non-deterministic build failure. I wasn't able to reproduce
it on i386 out-of-the-box. Then I ran dh_auto_test in a loop until I
was able to reproduce the failure:

  while nice -n2 dh_auto_test; do sleep 1; done

It ran for 8 iterations and several minutes before it failed. I've
forwarded the issue to upstream publically now.
