Thanks. > Uhm, how much is it important to test the package at build time? That's partly a decision for the package maintainer in each case. There is some movement, especially in the Debian Python community, to standardise running a package's automated tests at build time; but there's certainly no requirement that it be done. > In this case I'm a little reluctant to include *that* data in debian > archive (after all the upstream package is distributed without it). Don't be. That's not a reason to avoid distributing it in Debian, if it's useful overall to Debian recipients to do so. The question remains about getting a free-software license to do so, but you're aware of that now. > Anyway if testing the package at build time is considered very > important I can try to contact ESA and ask for more details about > license terms for re-distribution.
