Thanks for checking; I had also seen that these tests did not run, this will
have to be fixed. More important is the fact that I have put and arranged
the piece of code of dh_auto_test override into a test in
debian/tests/providedTests; here they run, and while the first ones pass,
next ones fail and I feel this is because the java code cannot link to the
native code in the jni package.

Yet, my problem is that I have not been able to investigate more deeply, as
the Java part is build using Gradle but the jni part is built outside of
Gradle, using a single command.
I thus don't know if the link between the Java and native code is correctly
done at that stage.

While I agree, of course, that we will need that the tests in
override_dh_auto_test run, we are already able to reproduce the problem I am
describing by running autopkgtest on the built package.

Thanks again for considering this,

All the best,
