Thanks for the hint which was really helpful.  Since setup.py is also
triggering a test suite I recreated the test data from upstream Git
and moved the packaging from Debian Med SVN to Git to simplify fetching
the new source tarball for others:

   git://anonscm.debian.org/debian-med/python-pyvcf.git

While the build works fine now and the tests are running without any
error I would like to be able to trigger the tests for the installed
modules.  I wonder what I need to do rebuild what setup.py is creating
from

       test_suite='vcf.test.test_vcf.suite',

Kind regards

    Andreas.
