Lots of projects have vast testing which is simply not feasible to replicate within Debian for a number of reasons. Running some battery of upstream tests makes sense, but testsuites which require root access outside a chroot, integration tests orchestrated across multiple machines, access to unusual sorts of accelerator or network hardware, and so on can easily comprise part of "the upstream testsuite." -- Jeremy Stanley
