Right. I just enabled that in ql-ruby, and saw that the tests where quick.

It generally works. AFAIK this is my only where package where I invoke it
... and nothing happens. It must be some LD_LIBRARY / libtool / ... magic
that is beyond. If Luigi can fix it, great. If not, well, .... I guess it
won;t be fixed. I do not suspect a problem at Debian's end.
As a sledgehammer solution, I could always purge prior or other QL
installations in the chroot in which I am building the packages. But that is
somewhat brute ...
