Why disable the testsuite? After all, if it is failing, its for a reason....

Lets not waste time fixing old versions. I'm sorry for delaying the
3.6 uploads, but I've been busy, and I'm kind of uncomfortable with
the current state because sc requires a newer boost version than the
debian default, which would require hardcoding a given boost version
in the build-deps.
