It turns out that the d3d11 tests could really use 
ARB_pipeline_statistics_query which upgrading to 18.2.8-2~bpo9+1 can get 
us.

So I went for another round of upgrades on cw1, cw2, wtbdebian9 and 
fgtbdebian9 (my test TestBot VM).

* All boxes have been upgraded to the current Debian 9.

* They all have the 18.2.8-2~bpo9+1 Mesa packages from the 
  Debian Backports repository.

* It turns out that once that was done, all the required dependencies were 
  already installed for the Debian Testing libvkd3d packages. So I 
  installed those too.

* I also added the MinGW packages.

* And I checked the installed package lists on all four machines to 
  synchronize them as much as possible. This turned up some missing 32 
  bit packages which I installed. The issue was typically was that I 
  could not install a -dev:i386 package due to multiarch issues, so that 
  instead I installed the packages it depends on and added the missing 
  symbolic links but missed some of the dependencies.

* Now cw1 and cw2 have the exact same packages; and wtbdebian9 and 
  fgtbdebian9 are identical as well. The two sets of machines are a bit 
  different because cw1 and cw2 have LibVirt and Munin unlike their VM 
  counterparts.

* Another difference is that cw1 and cw2 have the cups package 
  and all the bagage that goes with it whereas the VMs only have the 
  libcups* packages. Let me know if that makes a difference.

* I could not install the Debian Unstable FAudio packages: they depend 
  on a newer version of libSDL2 which requires a lot of other 
  significant packages upgrades, like libc6.


So everything is finally backed up and back up.
Let me know if something looks wrong in the TestBot results.

Cheers,
