It would probably be nice to have it more detailed configured, but it is also
quite okay that once you load specific kernel modules *and* executes the tests
with the right users that it actually can be tested.


The test suite tries to use the "ssh" command without a "Build-Depends: 
openssh-client".

The "openssh-client" package is not build-essential, and it's not even installed
by default by debootstrap.

There was a consensus that a missing build-depends on a 
required-but-not-build-essential
package was not RC, and I'm no longer using "serious" for those bugs.

But this is not the case here.

Thanks.

Hi.

I propose that we make the package compliant with Policy 4.2 by disabling
the tests which blindly assume there is a ssh service running in the host
machine.

(Otherwise, what kind of build-depends should be used for that?)

The attached patch works for me.

To do it right without breaking Policy 4.2, the package should maybe
enable its own ssh service on a non-standard port to avoid conflict
with a more than possible standard ssh service in the host machine,
which may or may not be present.
