Hello,

Your package's autopkgtest runs the upstream test suite which is
nice. However, it first builds the program and then tests that,
rather than the package from the archive.  This is not very useful,
as changes in reverse dependencies could cause breakage at runtime
which might vanish after a rebuild.

(followed by suggestion of how to fix this)

If Sven's patch works, you would also be able to drop most of the
test-time dependencies and depend only on asymptote itself (and maybe
one or two other packages), as you would not need to build asymptote.


Today I tested again and the test suites run, not sure, what was the fault before. Into debian/tests/control I inserted:

Depends: asymptote (= ${binary:Version}),

That failed b/c the syntax was not understood. When leaving out the version specification the test runs fine, but I'm not sure if it is OK to leave out the version specification.
