Yes, I've been working to add the switch via the above feature, 
but it is breaking other tests, and I didn't have time to 
fix those further failures yet.

BTW, where is the --quick-random switch documented? I couldn't 
find anything in the manpage, info nor by googling.

I'm not sure if version 0.3.1 would be fit for wheezy or if too much 
has changed for bugs that are not RC, or if I should just backport 
the command-line arguments feature to 0.3.0 to fix this bug (which 
is quite trivial), and consider 0.3.1 and further releases for
backports.d.o.
