Making sure the installed code works.
But also you should understand that what you want to do is very different 
from running the test suite, as you explicitly don't want to install deps 
needed for running it.

That doesn't check that the installed code also works, and also it only 
runs when the package is built, not later, e.g. when deps are updated.
None of this is specific to Python, both "build-time tests" and 
"autopkgtests" exist in other packages, and it's also useful to have 
autopkgtests run build-time tests there.
