This is a collection of binary cli tools and bash scripts that do
hardware-specific operations.  There have only ever been 10 bugs filed
against this package, and nearly all are packaging-related (e.g. sync
requests.)  Thus, this package may see limited benefit of having dep8
tests.

I think the extent of tests should just check installation of a handful
of the most commonly used commands

That said, some simple smoke tests for common commands might be of some
usefulness, and could be sufficient to close this bug.  From looking at
https://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/SCSI-Generic-HOWTO/sg3_utils.html I might
suggest something like:

```
test -e /usr/bin/sg_dd
test -e /usr/bin/sg_map
test -e /usr/bin/sg_inq
test -e /usr/bin/sg_read
```

Probably safe to assume that these are representative enough that if
they're installed, all the other utilities would be as well.

It's probably unreasonable to assume that the testing environments this
runs in will be assured to have any SCSI devices available for the test.
But, if that can be guaranteed, then it might be of use to run sg_inq as
a basic smoke test.
