The tests tend to fail a lot in sbuild when run locally; without dbus-test-runner, they will simply not work usually (failing to bring up a dbus bus), and with dbus-test-runner; they tend to time out at various stages, but most reproducibly in starting the SyncApp service:

For now; I'll disable the automated tests since things appear to be working properly when the examples are being run manually: see http://
