   Dear maintainer:

   I tried to build this package in buster but it failed:

   
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   [...]
    debian/rules build-arch
   dh build-arch
      dh_update_autotools_config -a

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   (The above is just how the build ends and not necessarily the
   most relevant part)

   The build was made in my autobuilder with "dpkg-buildpackage
   -B" and it also fails here:

   https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/rcs.html

   where you can get a full build log if you need it.

   If this is really a bug in one of the build-depends, please
   use reassign and affects, so that this is still visible in
   the BTS web page for this package.

Test 810 deals w/ subsecond (i.e., nanosecond) timestamps.  The
upcoming 5.10.0 release has proper support for this.  Could you
please try to check out from savannah and test that?  If there
are problems, i would like to fix them before release.
