Ouch. You are right, unfortunately.
What about creating a separeted tarball for any failed/skipped test
(maybe in a proper common subdirectory `tests/test-suite.dir'), then
displaiyng a message which tells the user "detailed information about
tests' failures are available in files saved in `tests/test-suite.dir';
please copy this directory to a safe known place, and write to the
mailing list <address@hidden> for more information regarding
how to send these information over to package maintainers"?
Would that help IYO (In Your Opinion)?
Regards,
Stefano
