yes, i know.  Some build daemons, which use extremely minimalist chroots
that don't even have /run at all, let alone a writable /run/user/1003 or
whatever.  Should the test suites fail in those cases?  if so, what
do you think i should do about getting newer versions of GnuPG in
debian?  If not, what needs to change?
