After review of the changes between .6 and .8, the patch should be fine on .6.

Having said that, you can skip building the tests with the standard mechanism:

$ export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="nocheck"
$ dpkg-buildpackage …

There is also a patch with Ubuntu specific changes for .8 attached to
Bug #824708.
