In hindsight I wonder if I even needed to manually mark the test with a debug info.  Maybe we can say that tests should *never* be manually marked with a debug info category, and only use the skip decorators.  That should still work, because it will be auto-multiplied to every debug format, and then some of them will be skipped.
