Disabling tests temporarily is risky.

I recommend to instead relax testsuite when targeting experimental, 
which both a) need no special action when switching back to stable 
builds and b) provides visible build logs usable e.g. to share with 
upstream developers.

Here's an example (replace the actual test command as needed):


include /usr/share/dpkg/pkg-info.mk

# don't fail on experimental builds
DEB_SUITE_EXP = $(filter experimental% UNRELEASED,$(DEB_DISTRIBUTION))

[...]

override_dh_auto_test:
ifeq (,$(filter nocheck,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS)))
        NODE_PATH=lib node test/mocha.js \
                $(if $(DEB_SUITE_EXP),|| true)
endif
