Sure. But sometimes there are different tests and if we would skip only
one to get rid of this Build-Depends that could be worth thinking about.

BTW, is it a *workflow* (thus kind of a user application)? If so the
name python3-seqcluster is *wrong* and should be rather only seqcluster.
We prefix package that provides a Python3 **module** with python3 and
not any package that by chance was written in Python3. So please
consider renaming the package (and the repository) to seqcluster if
its not a module you include somewhere in some workflow but rather a
self-standing application.

Only if we can strip the test suite to not necessarily need vienna-rna.
BTW, did you contacted vienna-rna upstream to free their code and if
yes, please add this attempt to
