The integration tests that were supposed to prevent this regression did not work as intended. They verified the contents of a table in the (supposedly) restored tablespace, deleted the table, and then deleted the tablespace. All of this was deemed sufficient to prove that the tablespace had been restored correctly and was valid.
However, PostgreSQL will happily recreate a tablespace on the basis of a single full-page write, at least in the affected versions. Since writes to the test table were replayed from WAL with each recovery, all the tests passed even though the tablespace was missing after the restore.
The tests have been updated to include direct comparisons against the file system and a new table that is not replayed after a restore because it is created before the backup and never modified again.
Versions ≥ 9.0 were not affected due to numerous synthetic integration tests that verify backups and restores file by file.
* More optimized container suite that greatly improves build time.
* Added static Debian packages for Devel::Cover to reduce build time.
* Add deprecated state for containers. Deprecated containers may only be used to build packages.
* Remove Debian 8 from CI because it does not provide additional coverage over Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 16.04.
