Comment:
(I'm one of the Debian maintainer of the python-django package, you can
keep my name in a contact list in case you have debian related
questions/problems in the future)
Debian installs python-django with the standard "python setup.py build &&
python setup.py install" so it's difficult to argue that we deliberately
"break" the tests. If being able to run the tests is an important feature
of a live installation of Django, then you should install them at the same
time, preferrably in the "django" package (instead of creating a top-level
package "tests").
Due to the rational above, I'm reopening it but if you decide to close it
again, I won't object. I'm not particularly convinced that the tests are
really needed in a typical installation but such a choice is IMO worth
documenting.
