For the record, you can emulate a system bus with something like dbus-launch sh -c 'export DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS=$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS run_test' as well, but apparently it only needs a session bus. So indeed running the tests in debian/rules with dbus-launch should work just fine. It's not entirely useless to run the upstream tests as autopkgtest, but the purpose of autopkgtest is really more about testing the installed package. "make check" doesn't do that, so running the tests during package build is usually a lot more efficient as you already have all deps installed and a built tree.
