Hi Eduardo--

Both of these tests are already marked as "needs-internet" -- shouldn't
that be sufficient for autopkgtest runners to know to skip them if
regular internet access is not available?

I'm not sure why we should use the skippable feature as well.  Can you
help me understand why we need both?  Given that the only reason to need
to skip is because the test needs the internet, it seems redundant (and
possibly too lax) to have both methods available to bypass the test.

(i might be misunderstanding something about how autopkgtest works --
please help me understand better if that's the case, i'm not opposed to
adjusting the tests in general!)
