There is no package build directory when autopkgtest runs, because
autopkgtest runs in a new separate chroot. That's what the line from the
manpage means.

It's not directly related to building, it's just because your tests are in
src/fscacher/tests and so they are not copied into the test dir by
default. I don't know what's the preferred best practice for such
packages, I imagine both copying the test manually and running tests
against /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/fscacher would work, but I don't
think either are possible with autopkgtest-pkg-build, at least if you
don't want to do extra copying not needed for build-time tests in d/rules.
In my package (python-queuelib) that has a similar layout I haven't
switched to autopkgtest-pkg-build.

(I would also expect that if a maintainer adds autopkgtests to a package
they actually run those before uploading)
