Control: severity -1 important

Hi,

bug is now fixed in upstream test libraries.

I understand your point of view. We found this way to reproduce upstream
test in this package that had no test before. What would be the best:
 * embed test libraries in source package (like apache2) ?
   + embed copies of dovecot and some other package that exists in
     Debian but with a different version ?
     -- or --
   + try to patch upstream test to use Debian packages in test ? (I
     tried without success)
 * remove autopkgtest files ?
 * render autopkgtest success "skippable" ?

Cheers,
Xavier
