I think it's worth doing a trial run in an actual unstable VM before
disabling those tests. Otherwise we're just guessing and we might put a
completely non-working package out there... That's going to help no one:
neither our users or upstream...

Well, it's used by the program to show the version info, so it's
*eventually* used by users for sure.

I think just removing the file is a good first guess.

Did you remove the versioneer file though?
