I am not aware of any issue with this patchset. I just wanted to say 
that there was some dependency issues in some recent fate tests that 
were introduced since I posted this patchset. I think the Makefile 
system takes some time to get used to, and it is quite boring, so there 
are some kind of copy/paste here and there which results in continuous 
additional issues. I guess that once mostly sanitized, new tests will 
more likely be ok.

I reviewed the patchset again today with more testing, and this results 
with 2 additional patches. Patchwork was down when I posted this v2, so 
I am about to post a v3 to trigger patchwork and add these 2 additional 
patches.

For the "big fear", I ran "make fate-list" with my usual settings to 
make sure no test was dropped. You can also check it on your side, but I 
only modified tests that were failing on my system, so there should be 
no reason I could have dropped a test without noticing it. I removed 
very few dependencies, but very carefully, and the most part is about 
adding dependencies.

I don't claim to have cleaned everything with the perfect patchset, but 
at least it certainly makes things better.

IMO, the patchset is ready to be applied.
