Bug description:
  [Impact]
  After fixing bug 2109339, tests in plucky fail due to a change in xvfb-run that now causes stderr to remain on stderr, and hence a Testsuite-Restriction: allow-stderr needs to be added.

  [Test plan]
  autopkgtests should succeed after upload.

  [Where problems could occur]
  By allowing stderr we could not see regressions in new warnings, however that is not a regression, the tests did not work before, and when they worked, they were inadvertently rendered to stdout :D

  [Other information]
  Also there are annoying "TestResult has no addDuration method" warnings that we should be fixing, these are really in nose, see bug 2109342 for details.
