This is related to the way that the version of debci on ci.debian.net invokes adt-run. I am about to deploy a new version that does The Right Thing (TM) and should probably fix the issue you are seeing.

The specification says that “tests > must test the INSTALLED version of the program”, but there is nothing > in Depends to ensure that the program is in fact installed. ... this is an important point. You have to make sure that the any tests will run against the code that is _installed_ and not against the code that was just built. Also, it would be really nice on the test infrastructure if you could build strictly the bits you need to the tests instead of building everything. e.g. the ideal would be build _only_ the unit test files (assuming they need to be built) and not all the other code (since you are supposed to run the tests against the installed version of the package) HTH -- Antonio Terceiro <terce...@debian.org>
