Can these tests be skipped somehow? If Pytest is used there may be a
pytest mark, or if they are in specific files these files can be
deleted in a phase. If they are few they can be skipped manually too.

Does this package only provides an executable? Inputs can be normal
inputs in that case, the libraries will be wrapped to the executable in
the 'wrap phase.

If the tests still can't run these inputs can be removed or commented
out.

Description should have full sentences. A rule of thumb is to use the
package name, e.g. "Pydoctor is a [...]" or "This package provides
[...]".
