I'd rather we spend a bit of time investigating the underlying failure
and engage with upstream if there's a need.  Setting #:tests? #f is
easy, but it means the sometimes serious efforts that were needed to
enable the test suite go into bitrot, making it harder to re-enable at
a later time (thus unlikely).
