There are quite a few issues opened on upstream github tracker either by me or by Debian maintainer. The main problem is that upstream checks that rendering output matches their generated images. This changes slightly with different versions of freetype. As a workaround, I reintroduced a certain base tolerance in order not to add specific tolerance value to each failing test (there are ~900 failing due to slight rendering differences). Then, there are some arch-specific issues, mainly on ARM. The update is necessary as there are no more releases planned for the 1.5.x branch.
