(Posting this here again since I'm not sure everybody working on nss in
LTS is aware of it):

We have patches to enable it during the build here:

    https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=806639

There's also more stuff like some minimal autopkgtests here:

Do we really intend to track nss upstream from now on:

    https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?Bug=824872

I remember the nss testsuite to run cleanly last time I checked a couple
of months ago so we should IMHO investigate.
