I assume those pseudopotentials are required to run the test suite?

In that case, what we've been doing with other packages is just shipping
the minimum required data files to run the test cases as patches in the
Debian packaging, this might work for GPAW as well.

That depends on course on how many different PPs the testsuite needs, if
the answer is "most of them", then yeah, Build-Depending on gpaw-setups
sounds ok.

In any case, I think the binary package should just be called
"gpaw-data" in line with other scientific packages.  It's fine to keep
the source package name as gpaw-setups, of course.
