as you wish, please consider that we have a wide range of Debian derivatives too, so having a testsuite might help your software in becoming more robus against different versions of compilers, flags, libraries, etc >If I were to enable the long tests for the Debian package build AND >add a few more sample document processing steps to the test suite, >it would >probably exercise nearly all of the dependencies on things >like jing, xsltproc, jade, opensp, asciidoc, etc...

I sponsored it to new queue, we will see once the package is accepted how the build goes with Ubuntu builders (please don't forget that :p) in the meanwhile feel free to experiment some builds and ask me for sponsorship of a -2 revision if you have a testsuite fix. thanks for your contribution to Debian!
