Your package's autopkgtest runs the upstream test suite which is nice. However, it first builds the program and then tests that, rather than the package from the archive. This is not very useful, as changes in reverse dependencies could cause breakage at runtime which might vanish after a rebuild.
Not sure how to change that. I removed the "build-needed" restriction from the test suite control file and run the autopkgtest as follows:
autopkgtest asymptote_2.86+ds1-2_amd64.deb asymptote_2.86+ds1-2.dsc -- schroot unstable-amd64-sbuild
The test fails: (Reading database ... 52447 files and directories currently installed.)
