Yeah, I remembered you usually did so! And I followed your example, seemingly successfully.

I did the upload -- I agree autopkgtests would be valuable, still. Yet I remember the 
tests I did when designing the package last Spring, and I feel providing a dataset is 
necessary for even a basic use of snpeff, which, I think, makes the design of an 
autopkgtest difficult.
But if anyone has specific ideas -- maybe you, Steffen? -- I would be really happy to 
implement them. Or else, I will have a look again!
