Hi!

While rebuilding the python related packages against the python version
3.15rc1 we found that astropy could not be built from source.

I think this is due to a change in the way the strictness of the tests.
But I haven't followed that to be sure. In any case, as packaged
astropy's tests either require the python module pytest-skip-slow which
is not packaged in Debian, or explicitly define the slow and hugemem
markers.

The attached debdiff implements the later approach. Please consider
applying these changes, or consider packaging the missing test
dependency.

Happy hacking,
