All the tests or just these ones ? How did you disable them ?

I read that as the same goal we're trying to achieve in Ubuntu where the
full test suite is run as part of the package build for our stable
series.

I'm all for achieving this goal on as many supported platforms as is
humanly possible.

And by that you mean lp:bzr or lp:bzr/2.4 ? I.e. do you track the trunk
or the latest stable series ?

Yes, please do ! And let's try to align what is done on your side with
what is done on
http://babune.ladeuil.net:24842/view/%20High/job/selftest-gentoo/ where
bzr.dev (lp:bzr) runs the full test suite daily with only sporadic
failures.

I.e.: I'd really like to address the distortion between the gentoo
install where *all* tests pass every *day* without any significant
failure and your install (probably not the right word nor concept[1])
where there seem to be far too much failures for you to enable all the
tests.

Feel free to contact me privately if you want to discuss this or let's
do that on a new bug, both are fine with me.

[1]: I'm only trying to do a minimal amount of administration on the
babune's gentoo slave while maintaining a "standard" gentoo install. If
several configurations needs to be tracked (openssl/nss/you name it),
I'd like to understand which ones are needed and how we can maintain
them.
