Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "tinysvm"

 * License         : LGPL-2+
   Section         : science

It builds those binary packages:

  libtinysvm1 - TinySVM shared library
  libtinysvm1-dbg - TinySVM debug symbols
  libtinysvm1-dev - TinySVM development files

You may also want to provide DEP-8 tests.
Are you saying this in general or are you specifically talking about tinysvm?
I was talking specifically about tinysvm, but if you implement DEP-8 test in your other packages, it won't hurt. :)
Are there any benefits in implementing DEP-8 tests replacing tests in the upstream build system? 

Not replace, but rather re-use for a slightly different purpose.
(I just quickly read the "current specification" document linked by http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep8/) Or are they intended to be run during installation (I did not get the meaning of "as-installed").
Right, this document is not very friendly for newcomers. It'd nice if it contained some kind of philosophical introduction...
The difference between DEP-8 tests and build-time tests, that the former test actual binary packages that are installed on the tested system. This makes the scope of issued possible to detect a bit different. For example, these problems could be detected by DEP-8 tests but not by build-time tests: - some files that are essential for the software to function correctly were not included in the binary package; 
- a dependency is missing;
- one of the libraries the package uses broke ABI.
On the other hand, build-time test could detect API breakage in a used library, which is impossible for DEP-8 tests. 

Does it makes things clear to you?

Anyway, uploaded.
