Do we have a definite answer on this?  I'm willing to fix this
but I don't know dejagnu and don't have time to learn it.
Quoting the tool's value seems the most conservative approach.

(BTW nobody ever wrote a test case exercising dejagnu in the
Automake test suite.  Hence releases are always done with
untested dejagnu support.  This sucks.  Any taker?)
