Hi Dmitry.  I'm only removing one of the tests out of this file - about 40 lines
out of 320 so a bit over 10%.  I thought that would be OK.

What do you mean by "debian/clien"?  If there's a better way of removing
entire files (because that does happen occasionally, especially with tests)
I'm happy to do that in preference to a patch.


Tim.
