I found that the required "testing plugin" (dummy-plugin) is defined as an entry point argument in setup.py. Qiime uses pkg_resources module to find the plugin using package's metadata (egg-info). Unfortunately, the metadata are only available after the "install" phase. I thought of two options: * rely on autopkgtest * run build-time tests after "dh_auto_install" __ Liubov
