Downloading of test data



Hi mentors,
I have a package (pyepr) that provides a small python extension written
in cython.
The upstream source includes a test suite that needs some data to be
downloaded from the internet (398K) using wget.
Note that data are only used for testing, they are not installed.

My question is: is it sane to download data at package build time?

And, in case, should wget be set as build-dependency?

Thanks
