In docker.io we already apply a bunch of patches to disable tests that
require root or that require network. Unless I'm mistaken, it's quite
common to do that in debian packaging??
Even though it's not ideal, I don't know of any better solution during
the package build. Then there is autopkgtest of course, but I'm not
familiar with it and I don't know if it's suitable for running a test
suite with full capabilities (ie. root and network).
