You don't seem to understand that debian source packages are
built with a makefile (debian/rules), which could definitely run
some tests. If a test fails, the build fails, and the thing
won't get uploaded.

All developers should test their packages before they upload
them, wheter they use some kind of automated test suite or not
doesn't really matter.
