Hi Sven,

Your package has a test suite that probably should be run at build time,
but it is not.  I looked at the git repository and found that it has
been disabled since at least 2015:

This leaves me rather puzzled: why exactly would it bad if make tries to
compile prc/test.cc?

Out of curiosity, I removed the dh_auto_test override and built the
package with "sbuild --no-arch-all".  This ran the test suite where
various files were compiled, but not prc/test.cc.  The build was
successful.

As you noticed I did not enter that entry and the person who did that does not actively work for Debian any more. Maybe at the time of the commit the file prc/test.cc was still compiled and linked and that was bad somehow. Anyway I'd like to leave it as it is: there are some slow architectures, hence I'd not run the test suite on all arches. I may remove the comment if that solves an issue.
