Thanks for the quick response. :-)

I'm not sure that will do the right thing for the build dir, though,
which is currently set up by doing:
$(MAKE) -C $(DEB_BUILDDIR) check
<pause>
A quick check suggests it doesn't DTRT. With the existing rules file I
see:
...

but without the override I see:
...

dh_auto_test
fakeroot debian/rules binary
dh binary
dh_testroot
...
Unless I'm missing something obvious, looks like the override will be
needed as long as the build directory needs to be specified.
