That's fine. As long as you have a valid reason =D

(sorry I've been referring to CDBS / dh(1)) basicly after build target
is finished you should be able to run the test-suite and it should
pass. Look through upstream documentation on how to run it. In
autotools based packages it's usually "check" target in upstream
Makefile and sometimes additional "installcheck" target. So yeah in
CDBS there is a variable to store the name of the testusuite target.
In dh(1) there is dh_auto_testsuite (from memory might be wrong) which
deal with these things.

Then you should add Vcs-git: and Vcs-browse; tags to your control. So
that debcheckout will work for your packages. Look at some other git
maintained debian packages in their control field.
