Debian uses autopkgtest for 'version' w/ restriction superficial as
follows:

Tests: version
Restrictions: superficial


https://people.debian.org/~eriberto/README.package-tests.html

superficial
The test does not provide significant test coverage, so if it passes, that does 
not necessarily mean that the package under test is actually functional. If a 
superficial test fails, it will be treated like any other failing test, but if 
it succeeds, this is only a weak indication of success. Continuous integration 
systems should treat a package where all non-superficial tests are skipped as 
equivalent to a package where all tests are skipped.

Additionally, since that ".tarball-version" only focus on upstream
version "3.3.16". The version won't change unless ones bump the version
(which won't happen in stable release) unless under serious exception.
So this value is unlikely to be removed or changes any time soon in
Focal.

Usually, adding autopkgtest inside an SRU is not a desired change.

For the above reasons, I think it is safe to skip the autopkgtest and
only focus on the version fix.
