I expect the same :)

I want to run the same test suite (which is most often provided by the upstream in order to test the package), during the build and as installed.

but @builddep@ are not the dependency in order to run the test as installed but during the build.

I need to check that my python-<package> dependencies and the specific tests dependencies is a working subset of @builddep@ for these tests.

Am I clear ?

I agreed that sometime running the same test during the build and as-installed is our best option.
