Oops, one of the "amhello" tests has an unecessary requirement (copy &
paste blunder).  Consider the following squashed in:

  diff --git a/tests/amhello-binpkg.test b/tests/amhello-binpkg.test
  index 8da3495..47add73 100755
  --- a/tests/amhello-binpkg.test
  +++ b/tests/amhello-binpkg.test
  @@ -17,7 +17,6 @@
   # Document an example from the manual about the `amhello' package:
   # using DESDIR to build simple, no-frills binary packages.

   . ./defs || Exit 1
   
   set -e
