I agree that it is not the intention of autopkgtest to (re)run unit tests.
Said that, I disagree on the severity: It is still better than having no tests, as they
will be able to detect some issue, e.g if some reverse depenency breaks stuff.
The tests could be marked supeeficious, maybe…

s390x is in state "uncompiled", so s390x issues does not make this bug RC either.

Cheers,
