Two tests use a "calibration" script that adjusts the expected tags.
In that particular circumstance, commit b81de6ce

 causes the displayed
diff to be incorrect (although the test result itself is reliable).
Here we fix the path if the test was calibrated. Now the diff is
correct again.

Possible long-term solutions are: (1) reversal of the "calibration"
logic in that it modifies the actual tags rather than the expected
tags; (2) a more powerful tag parts that compares only invariant
parts.

The test result is checked against the copy of tags in $runpath, but
the diff command is now run on the tags in $specpath. It provides
users who rely on it a reference to the original tags.

A test runner should probably minimize its own untested use of
facilities from the subject under test. In this instance, the function
internal_error was provided by Lintian proper, but its use was not
necessary. It was replaced.
