That is terribly wrong. Packagers care about testsuites for one simple reason: as thoroughly as developers may be testing the code, that will never guarantee proper behaviour on the system on which the code is built. When creating packages for Debian, I /do/ care about the testsuites because the testsuite not failing is the only reliable thing telling me the lib is not utterly broken on the system it is being built on. I understand users not listening or unwilling to fix the suite to fit their needs is a pain, but let's not make it an even greater pain for people who just want to use it and manage to. Things have improved a lot as far as packaging is concerned in the last months, and this is clearly a step backwards. Please reconsider your decision. Cheers, -- Albin Tonnerre
