No, I don't think at all that a test-suite detecting an issue should
be solved by disabling the test. If that's what you understood, I
didn't explain well enough.

The patch was *only* to make the package build again reliably. If you don't
disable the test and instead do nothing, then you still have the FTBFS
bug, which is still serious and RC, no matter the joke severity of
the day to which you want to downgrade it.

I could well suggest the exact opposite: If you think that a package
having a test suite which is wrongly designed should be fixed by
trying and trying again until it builds, you should be sending a patch
against dpkg-dev so that dpkg-buildpackage builds the package
automatically several times until it builds ok.

Thanks.
