Hard-coding the exact html output of a dependency that generates html, and
expecting that not to change doesn't seem like a robust way to test it
functionality, so I think it's clear that the bug is in the autopkgtest of
debiman. It's perfectly acceptable for mdocml to generate different html
output to represent the data (whether the upload of the new upstream version
should have happened during the soft freeze is a different matter, but that's
unrelated to this bug).

Testing that the html is valid, and contains certain parts of the input might
be a more useful test.

Cheers,

Ivo
