After some testing this turns out to be an issue with buttercup: if the
required module is not immediately in the current loading path it will
get stuck.  I've tested with `-L` and directly `--eval "(load-library
'clojure-mode)"` and while the load-library succeeded it will still get
stuck.

Meanwhile I have tested locally that with a newer buttercup version 1.34
this won't be an issue anymore.  However it fails some other tests which
we'll have to deal with later.

So this is a workaround of the buttercup issue in 1.31.  An alternative
is to disable autopkgtest as it's doing basically the same thing as the
test during building.

Wdyt?
