This is what the adt-run manpage says about the --source option:
"By default the package will also be built and the resulting binaries 
will be used to satisfy test dependencies"
Presumably it also means that the built tree is used for running tests.

(What I've been doing in my packages, as a defensive strategy against 
accidentally testing against not-installed code, is to copy all the bits 
necessary to run tests from the package directory to $ADTTMP, then chdir 
to $ADTTMP, and run tests from there.)

I'm a bit worried, because pdf2htmlex is built in C++11 mode, but it 
links to libraries built in C++98 mode. If I understand correctly, this 
is potentially a recipe for disaster.

Now, it's probably not something that would stop me from uploading the 
package. Just wanted to make sure that you are aware of this problem.
