Thank you for taking the time to clarify the status of those files.

Okay.  Are you planning to tag a release after you merge into master?
If a new release is imminent I'll hold off uploading my package.  No
pressure; just let me know your plans.

Yes, if there is an upstream test suite then a Debian package should run
it at package build time.  We also have a CI farm running tests and I
intend to run OCRmyPDF's tests there too.

It wouldn't help with disc space as Debian packages are meant to include
an untouched copy of upstream releases.
