Usually if there are tests that fail for reasons other than packaging
(like requirements on other distro stuff (I have encountered tests that
run 'apt-get' or 'yum') or running daemons), I try to patch them
out rather than have failing tests that can't reasonably be fixed. I
will also try to fix buggy tests, if it can be done with reasonable
effort.
