I've seen this happen only if you build the binaries outside of the source
tree for some reason (since rules builds it in builddir-single, it fails).
If you'd like, I'll make a target in rules that'll run a full testsuite
that's really just for testing purposes. I should do this anyway, but
it's not as easy to clean up after (easily solved still).
Basically, if you just want to run the testsuite, rebuild it by hand for
now. By the next revision, I'll have a 'check' target in debian/rules.
