Update of bug #57630 (project groff):

                  Status:                    None => Need Info              

    _______________________________________________________

Follow-up Comment #7:

It seems like we don't really have a consensus on this one yet.

Maybe we need an actual definition of what it is 'test-groff' is actually
supposed to do.

Ersatz user-local-packaging of the built groff tree as a runtime?

Ersatz isolated containerization of the built groff tree as a runtime?

These objectives are in tension.
