Dear Maintainer,
Please find the attached patch that allows tests to be run optionally during
the build process.
Currently there is no target for testing included in the rules files, no tests
are executed during the build process.
Although currently there seems to be no plans to execute the tests in an
automated method, we can configure certain environment variable like
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS to run the tests along with the build process only when
explicitly requested.
The current patch is verified on sid version.
