I can confirm that the test works for me (now since I'm able to build
the package - thanks to Aaron for the quick response).

I noticed that you pushed a commit featuring the copyright information
of the test data.  Do you consider the package ready for upload now or
are you busy to enhance the test?  From my point of view an upload with
the current status would be fine but I'm waiting for your OK for the
upload.  In any case I added a closes: #879619 (which should mark the
bug "pending upload" if the hook on Salsa works properly which I hereby
want to test).

Kind regards

      Andreas.
