I basically agree with your comment, which is also in line with our policy
of following upstream as closely as possible when building packages.
On the other hand, a simple unit test that requires 2GB of memory seems a bit
excessive to me and could be considered a bug in the upstream package.
How about reporting a bug upstream, Jookia? And maybe disable the test
in the package with a comment linking to the bug report?
