I have spoken to upstream about this and the problem is that the pytests of 
pynpoint all require external assets which cannot be reproduced by us. 

https://github.com/PynPoint/PynPoint/issues/432

The absence of autopkgtest isn't ideal. To fix that I suggest to implement a 
smoke test which tests pynpoint as a package. That way we have an autopkgtest 
which fails whenever pynpoint fails. Not ideal either but at least a step in 
the right direction..

What do you think? 

Best regards,
