Turns out I wasn't looking closely enough at the autopkgtest logs from
my local testing - I was trying to run the tests with the pre-built
binary packages and whilst it would indicate the internaltest-py.sh
tests were passing, they were actually completely failing without any
error indication:

autopkgtest [19:10:18]: test internaltest-py.sh: [-----------------------
The nftables library at 'src/.libs/libnftables.so.1' does not exist. You need 
to build the project.
autopkgtest [19:10:19]: test internaltest-py.sh: -----------------------]
autopkgtest [19:10:20]: test internaltest-py.sh:  - - - - - - - - - - results - 
- - - - - - - - -
internaltest-py.sh   PASS


So I think clearly this is a lot less straightforward than I originally thought 
and perhaps we shouldn't bother with it at this stage - also since as you say 
since it doesn't fail the autopkgtest run itself then is there any point trying 
to enable these tests as we won't be able to use it to easily detect 
regressions in that case.
