If the package does not provide any .fasta file, and if you
don't have any way to generate one, there are still several

packages. To find the sort of file that I am after, I
extensively use apt-file, e.g. for fasta files:
$ apt-file search --regex '.*\.fasta$' | less
+1. I have been following the same practice for a while now, most
recently by adding autopkgtest for provean [1]. By reusing packaged
files we keep the overhead to minimum, with a downside of having to
adapt in case the dependency changes. I did not encounter many of such
changes, though.
Best wishes,
