Thanks, this seems to work (documenting this in the pybuild manpage
would be nice).

However, now I have a different problem:

It seems that pybuild tries to find the tests in some temporary
directory:

$ debuild -us -uc
[....]
make[1]: Leaving directory `ROOT/python-dugong-2.1'
   dh_auto_test -O--buildsystem=pybuild
I: pybuild base:170: cd ROOT/python-dugong-2.1/.pybuild/pythonX.Y_3.4/build; python3.4 -m pytest 
============================= test session starts ==============================
platform linux -- Python 3.4.0 -- pytest-2.5.1
collected 0 items
[...]

This is presumably because the tests are in ROOT/test, not in
ROOT/python-dugong-2.1/.pybuild/pythonX.Y_3.4/build. The latter seems to
contain only the dugong module itself.

Who/what is responsible for copying the tests in this directory? 


Thanks,
-Nikolaus
