I see you enabled the tests during build; the problem here is that the tests write to the home directory, which is not allowed during package build (see a recent thread on debian-devel about that), and sbuild enforces that by setting the home directory of the sbuild user to something like /non-existent. You can manually set the HOME environment variable during testing to override that with a temporarily created directory. I've attached a git patch against your current packaging (you can use git am to apply it) that does just this. I've tried building it in sbuild -d unstable and it works - and the tests pass. Hope that helps. Regards, Christian
