None of these binaries are useful other than for the context of the test suite (that gets invoked by dh_auto_test). Tests as these are also denoted within a variable in C/Makefile called "testProgs". They get linked to cuTest.a (which gets installed under /usr/lib although I found out that marginphase's test suite uses cuTest.a too so removing it might not be suitable in this case). > I stopped for the reason that my original target signalalign needs a further dependency: > > https://salsa.debian.org/med-team/python-servicecourse > > This should be a proper Python Module but upstream has just thrown > three files into the root dir of the archive. > > Possibly this can be fixed by some simple setup.py to profit from > pybuild - but may be moving those files manually might be possible as > well.
