Yes, that's the plan, but there is still packages to fix before we can
do that, so that will still take a few weeks or months.

Your package is not able to cope with host names pointing to an IPv6 due
the use of gethostbyname in the testsuite to do the name resolution.

Switching to unshare buildds will only hide the problem. It has nothing
to do with gratuitous environment change.
