I am a bit late, but nobody in this thread mentioned debian/pybuild.testfiles.
It is a list of files or directories that pybuild will copy to its build
directory before running the tests, and delete after running them.
If you have *.egg-info in the orig tarball, just add that file (and the tests
directory itself) to debian/pybuild.testfiles.
If no, also add this line to debian/rules:
export PYBUILD_BEFORE_TEST={interpreter} setup.py egg_info
Example package where I am doing this is pybtex-docutils.
