Bhavani: Are you building as root?  It looks like the test suite only fails 
when running as root or fakeroot.  For example, one test does
  echo ~$(id -un)/foo; echo "$HOME/foo"
and checks that the same line is written twice.  And many other tests include 
an assertion that the prompt is displayed as ‘>’ instead of ‘#’.

(Your output snippet doesn’t show the test failures, but you’ll see them
if you scroll back to ‘## Detailed failed tests. ##’.)

Ubuntu’s buildds run ‘debian/rules build’ before ‘fakeroot debian/rules
binary’, so this should not actually be a problem.

Debian #635102 shows a completely different test failing on kfreebsd, so
I don’t think it’s a concern for Ubuntu either.
