Probably I'm too much influenced by what I do in OpenStack, where there
is not only unit tests, but also functional tests. And it makes a lot of
sense to include functional tests, so that they can be launched once the
package is installed (and connected to other services).

Good point! I probably should start doing that in my packages, it would
make a lot of sense to do so.
