I think I do not understand this part. Are you saying that we can have test
data not inside the debian/ directory and also not have MUT? If so, I am
interested in how we can achieve that -- could you explain how to do this?
(The only way I can think of here is downloading the upstream tar, unpacking, adding
additional data and repacking it for each upstream release but we absolutely should
not tamper with upstream sources)
Note that in the cases for embedding test data, the test data was present in
a separate repo not distributed by the upstream tar, which is why we had
to think about embedding it this way.
Best,
Nilesh
