Without ever having personally encountered a situation like this, I would 
probably go this route.  Only because the dropping of autopkgtest is 
temporary.  In my mind, autopkgtest are there to help the maintainer catch 
problems they would otherwise miss.  In this case, it is creating a problem.  
As it is unlikely that something important that autopkgtest would catch will 
surface during this brief transition period, I would disable them to make the 
transition.
