I tried to build this package 23 times today.
It failed 19 times:

According to "Packages must autobuild without failure"
in release policy:

https://release.debian.org/stretch/rc_policy.txt

this is RC by definition.

For reference, I attach 12 of those failed build logs.

If the maintainer does not have the time or the patience to disable
the tests that fail or investigate why they fail, I suggest that the
tests are just disabled (patch attached).

Thanks.
