Hi,
thanks to Marius Bakke's tip django test run fine now -- except of two.
These are errors in the test-case which have been fixed just after the
release.
What is the proper way to handle this? Include this fix as a patch? As a
snippet to the source? Or should I disable the two tests?

If there are upstream patches that fix broken tests, then I think we
should try taking those patches from upstream and applying them in the
(source) field of the package.
The patch files we use should include a brief comment explaining what
they do (the upstream commit message might suffice) and a link to their
source.
