Hi Piotr,

thanks for your quick help!

While it looks a lot more elegant if I do

export PYBUILD_TEST_NOSE=1
export PYBUILD_TEST_ARGS={dir}/tests

...

override_dh_auto_test:
	# Tests are stumbling upon missing ex1.bam file ...
	ln -s pysam_data/ex1.bam tests
	cd tests && make -C pysam_data
	dh_auto_test

This ends in:

...

tabix_data is a subdirectory of tests and seems to be ignored with the
method you proposed.

Thanks anyway

      Andreas.
