James, at least the "/usr as read-only" principle is one it's really worth
observing; some people actually do mount /usr over a network as read-only, and
will complain vociferously if something expects to be able to write to it. I'm
sort of with Till here, really; autotest does seem to be wilfully doing rather
odd things, and I think it'd be perfectly reasonable to patch those even if
upstream weren't immediately interested in the patch. It's not a question of 'a
downstream distribution's' filesystem standards, this is FHS stuff, which all
distros pay at least lip service to.

You didn't seem to answer Till's question as to why an autotest user account is
necessary.

The comment "This package is specific to Fedora..." is probably supposed to
read "This patch is specific to Fedora..."

The description is quite thin. It might be useful to explain briefly what the
hell autotest is.
