I agree that the FTBFS in buster is a problem, ATM I'm focusing more on
bullseye and won't have time. Although repurposing this bug or filing a new
one seems right to me!

HTH,

Hi. This is still a package which FTBFS randomly in buster, the
current supported stable distribution. Would you please consider
fixing this FTBFS bug in stable, where people will still have
to deal with it?

I believe that disabling the tests completely in cases like this one,
where a failure does not mean there is something wrong, is a much
better option than doing nothing.

Thanks.
