It is generally better to have tests run during package build, because
you will see issues earlier. Upstream's response speaks for bad QA, or
(in case of Mint sometimes the case) they don't know how to deal with
the issue. What does the test actually test? If it is simple to fix,
we should better get it fixed.

P.S: Are you using CDBS? If not, in case of dh, you need to override
the auto-test command.
