+Subject: [PATCH] Do not require release test dependencies
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+By default release tests are skipped. However, the tests have some
+uniq additional dependencies. Terminating the tests before loading the
+dependencies enables us dropping a dependency on them.
