Hi Daniel,

in less than two weeks we will have remove fastcluster from the next 
Debian release, and all the packages that depend on it, if we have 
reasons to worry that the package is not fit for the release.

How bad are is test failure?  Is that something that can be ignored?

Have a nice day,

Charles
