On way to go about this, is build on a chroot.
I'd kind of expect to do that anyway.
Honestly I don't think I ever tried to run the whole devscripts'
testsuite outside of a chroot..

mhhh.

I don't quite believe this; I'm positive the devscripts testsuite
doesn't try to access any external network.

If you are just trying to build the package and see where the files are
placed, just build with nocheck. However I'd kinda like if you could
include some kind of tests for your new tool as well.
For the failing tests you are seeing, I can suggest you to try to debug
them yourself. For example, in the cases of the git ones forcing the
tests to ignore your $HOME/.gitconfig is most likely the way to go about
them.
You can run the single test scripts directly, without any special kind
of invocation before them, so you can easily test them singularly.

the debdiff test fails for you? That's an odd one, I haven't seen that
failing in a long time.
Also 25 is an odd return code, so definitely something from your system
is messing with it.
