Easier for whom? The hard part has been figuring out how to re-enable
test suite (and make it pass without disabling tests) and it still had
to be done - it has been disabled by Debian maintainer because of
failures and running test suite at build-time has been one of
requirements made during MIR process.

I don't think we have to check a full delta between 1.2.1 and 1.2.3
releases as both are bug fix only. Django developers do a lot of work to
ensure that the concurrent releases are compatible and that's what the
tests are for anyway.
