As far as I recall, there was no test run in the build. I agree that to
improve package quality we should include a test phase, but building is
very long, and packages have been RC for a while already. So I suggest
we upload a fix for them, then think about a test method. What do you
think? Johnny, are tests run when RPM are built?
To reduce the difference with the regular build mechanism, we have two
scripts:
1. debian/cmp-installation.sh
2. the script available from thread (1) -- it needs to be added to our
build scripts.

Possibly.

I'm rebuilding the 5.6.3 packages right now.
Your name and email are missing from debian/changelog and debian/rules;
I'll add them.
Thanks for your work, Pau.
Regards,
Thomas
