No problem. :-)

Do you have any reasons to remove the tests from the tarball?  I could
imagine that larger chunks of data might be used but I assumed that for
this very purpose GenABEL.data exists ... and so I did package it for
Debian as well.

While this would possible in prinziple I personally really prefer a
downloadable source tarball including testing features if any possible.
However, if you might have strong reasons I would find ways to drain
the stuff needed from the repository.
 
Kind regards
