I'll do.

Fascinating.

Maybe this is again about my expectations and wrong assumptions.

So it is possible to have packages in the debian repo that don't run any 
tests? I wasn't expecting this.
So Back In Time is in Debian for many years and never run tests on the 
Debian build system? I'm shocked.

I didn't realize this. I thought that the test suite is broken and not 
it never works. ;)

Having a package in the official Debian repo was always kind of a 
quality certificate for me. ;)

Understood.

What else can be done than making upstream fix the buggy tests. ;)
