Dear Wolodja,
I think that having test results in the build logs is very valuable, and that
it is worth enlarging the build dependencies to acheive that. Note however that
the network is not always accessible from our build daemons. Tests requiring
the network have to be disabled, but I strongly recommend that you run them
locally before you upload your package.
Have a nice day,
