No, I didn't; it was Bcc:ed.

Do you have *positive* reports from hppa users that libsqlite3-0 works
correctly on hppa?  If not, one bug report indicating that it doesn't
shouldn't be discarded so easily.

Those are all possibilities.  They should be investigated prior to
downgrading the bug, unless you have other evidence that the library does
work on hppa today.

I think it's always best to enable testsuites at build time.
