When you write "it should be a dependency issue" is seems the tests do 
fail with the package.  How does it fail?  What is the error message?

Possible, yes, but not wise.

If the package fails its testsuite when packaged in Debian, then we 
cannot be sure that the package works when packaged in Debian.

And even if it works today, then we will easily miss if it stops working 
due to changes in some of its dependencies.

As a rule¹ of thumb, packages that fail their testsuite (or has no 
testsuite) should be targeted experimental.

¹ I break that rule myself sometimes, and am then responsible for being 
extra attentive and fix any problems it might cause later on.  
Especially when you are new to packaging, I strongly recommend that you 
do *not* break the rule, because you rely on others to help you and 
therefore *cannot* fix it on your own if things go wrong later.
