Subject: debian/rules: ignore test suite failures on ia64 Even git versions that previously passed the test suite no longer pass the test suite on merulo or mundy (text files are detected to be binary, causing many tests using git diff to break). Probably some basic component like libc or the kernel is broken. Holding back the updated git binaries doesn’t do anyone any good, so ignore the result of the test suite for now.

Thanks for checking this. So Anders’s suggestion is right: we should disable the test suite on ia64 for now.
