Giving a deeper look to [1] it seems that, in order perform unit tests
on the -dbg package, we need to Duild-Depends on python-numexpr-dbg.

AFAIK python-numexpr do not provides a -dbg package so I'm not sure how
to go on.

Probably we could disable build-time unit tests for the -dbg package.
Makes it sense?
