+    version of the test suite gnupg workarounds.  Empirically,
+      - The tests now pass (most of the time, at least) in
+        current Debian unstable, whereas 5.5's fail utterly.
+      - There is still occasional lossage.  So when running tests
+        in a loop (eg to test ever commit), it is still good to set
+        DGIT_TEST_RETRY_COUNT=3 (say).
 
   * test suite: Test that manpages format with only expected warnings.
