The test suite is quite slow, yes. Not sure why, but it happen for
all profiles.

This is a suger profile issue, because the suger profile do not
install readahead, and there is a bug in the script as it crashes and
do not clean up if /etc/readahead/ exist when the test script is execited.

To detect bugs in the installation system. It should be disabled in
the production version, but for test installation it is very useful to
detect bugs in our configurations.
