I'm only attached to ensuring that Debian packages build ok and
without failures (release policy), so I have to decline your
suggestion to use the upstream bug tracker, as that will not make
the Debian package to build ok 100% of the time again.

If you think this is not RC, you can always ask for permission to use
sarge-ignore here (you could ask in the same report if it's ok for
them to disable the test).

IMO, disabling the test would be just a way to follow release policy,
which says "packages must build without failures".

If you plan to downgrade instead, please consider these two bugs as well:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=839444
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=811068

The three bugs are FTBFS which happen randomly. The package usually
builds fine in the official autobuilders (but not always), and the
FTBFS problem could be avoided trivially by disabling one or more
tests.

It would be really strange to downgrade one of those bugs and not the
others. Before doing so, please try to reach a consensus inside the
GNOME team about what should be done with all those bugs.

Thanks.
