IMO yes.

for the first "run" you can ignore errors, but this way you'll have
the tests executed on the buildds and see what's going on, and then
you'll be able to work to fix what's broken.

I'd rather have a 100% working package :) Or a package where tests
failures are ignored (temporarily) to have the time to work on the
code to fix it.
