And what we are supposed to do if upstream states that tests are not
supposed to be ran on users systems and exists for package development
only? For example one upstream states that the purpose of tests is to
test integrity of the program itself and not program's environment and
he (upstream) is pretty sure that program works as designed...

Also relevant question: some tests require root privileges. What we
should do in such case?
