The test failure is actually just a timeout, it passes fine with a
longer timeout. For this reason I think it's a pitty to disable this
test, and also it just adds a debian specific patch to the package.

I would rather prefer the solution of increasing the test timeout, which
is implemented in this merge request:

https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gnome-control-center/-/merge_requests/52

I have just rebased it, and tested the package still builds fine with
the new upstream version.
