Indeed, that's why it's useful to have even the simplest "does my program start" smoke test as an autopkgtest, to guard against packaging failures like that. Also adding support for autopkgtest to packages with an existing testsuite that can run against the package as-installed is relatively simple. It consists in adding a test control file, one or several scripts to wrap the call to the testsuite and a source record header to enable auto-discovery. Then on next upload your package will appear on jenkins[1] For example, in the case of simplejson (which is the package you're referring to I suppose) the diff is quite small [2] For reference the developer guide [3] explains the details.
