I don't think you can reliably run such tests during build -- builds nearly exclusively run under fakeroot, which is not enough to create missing device nodes. Installing build-deps uses real root, but I don't think there's a good way to ensure the device nodes are properly setup in the chroot. On the other hand, it's a good match for autopkgtest -- you can then specify demands such as needs-root, and if that's not enough, isolation-container or isolation-machine. 喵! -- ᛊᚨᚾᛁᛏᚣ᛫ᛁᛊ᛫ᚠᛟᚱ᛫ᚦᛖ᛫ᚹᛖᚨᚲ
