Yes, small test cases are obviously much easier to debug for a porter than
having to first spend time learning about a specific package. It would be
great if you could post a simple, targeted test case to the bug report.

I think this question is best asked on the debian-release list. I do know
of at least one other package that has (temporarily) disabled its test
suite for hppa.
It depends a bit on when a porter (which I'm not) could look into the
issue. Carlos does most of the work ATM and AFAIK he has a number of other
issues on his TODO list.
