Hi,
Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that
hovercraft could not be built reproducibly.
This is because to run the tests, debian/rules copies some tests into
position; however, it does not delete them afterwards and they then
end up in the binary package.
This means that if the tests are skipped (ie. via "nocheck"), then the
package will have different contents.
Patch attached that removes these (copies of the) tests after running
them.
