+Subject: Comment out undercover in tests
+
+This patch comments out undercover in tests. The package
+elpa-undercover is not a real dependency (it is used just to collect
+tests statistics), so it's better to comment it out rather then add it
+as a dependency to d/control. The main motivation is to fix
+autopkgtest (otherwise autopkgtest fails because it cannot load
+undercover.el)
