If there is a real test-suite to run you can do this
a) at package build time
b) using autopkgtest (you might like to google how to do this in
case you might fail finding something we have also examples in
Debian Med Vcs
In any case it would be a good idea to install this either inside the
libsnp-sites1-dev using dh_installexamples - or rather, considering its
size which is quiete large compared to the content of libsnp-sites1-dev,
into another package with "Architecture: all" and name it
libsnp-sites-examples
or so (provided that these tests are basically for development purpose -
otherwise I would suggest snp-sites-examples or snp-sites-data whatever
fits more to your taste).
