Well : 1) Upstream itself uses the testsuite in the sense of "shouldn't have too many failing tests", and it still allows to detect when a build is utterly broken, so we shouldn't disable it. 2) It's not an FTBFS, since the sources actually build to a set of packages. This points to lowering this bug severity and let sagemath go in stable. Or at least not preventing it just for this reason.
