I'm not sure if this is good or bad :)

I looked at and triaged your bug report (thanks!). This is caused by a missing
dependency, something we can fix on our end. Once you install that dependency
tests should run correctly.

Yes, kernel-level hardware support should pretty much be the same, and you're
right that we don't focus on applications themselves, so test results should be
pretty much interchangeable. Still, we'd like to ensure that if a Kubuntu user
wants to run the tests and contribute with Ubuntu Friendly (something we very
much appreciate), (s)he is able to do so with minimum hassle.
