Very nice, and fast reaction, too!

I wanted to verify this patch to succeed versus the unpatched version
to still fail with the very same test setup each,
but I failed during package build
(via fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage in the apt-get source'd cups-1.3.8/ directory):

A HTML report was created in /tmp/cups-root/cups-str-1.3-2008-11-11-root.html.

Copies of the error_log and cups-str-1.3-2008-11-11-root.html files are in
/usr/src/system/cups-1.3.8/test.

Or, simply stated, how to disable the test suite to get a successful
.deb package build?
(maybe I shouldn't ignore a failing test run though; then what?)

Or could you tell me what the usual way is to do this cups .deb package build?

Thanks a lot,
