I don't think you can reliably run such tests during build -- builds nearly
exclusively run under fakeroot, which is not enough to create missing device
nodes. Installing build-deps uses real root, but I don't think there's a
good way to ensure the device nodes are properly setup in the chroot.
On the other hand, it's a good match for autopkgtest -- you can then specify
demands such as needs-root, and if that's not enough, isolation-container or
isolation-machine.
