[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#811644: FTBFS with GCC 6: cannot convert x to y

Hi, 

I've uploaded a patch fixing this compiler problem, and I also added
another patch that makes sure the test suite is actually run during
package build. 

I don't ask for sponsoring though, because the package is somewhat
fishy:

In the source one gets by using 

  apt source idba 

no patches are applied or even listed. In the svn are two patches
however that are from 2014. They seem to be partially applied now, so
I've disabled one, and rebased the other. 

Also, when I run 

  svn-buildpackage 

the source tarball is not properly unpacked leaving me with an empty
tree and finally with an empty package. However, when I do 

   svn-buildpackage -S 

then the resulting source package is fine - i.e. I can unpack with
dpkg-source -x and compile it. 

Best, 
Gert
