In my pbuilder autopkgtest hook I get

autopkgtest [14:03:33]: test run-unit-test: [-----------------------
File series fully applied, ends at patch debian/patches/0001-Replace-all-.search-calls-with-.overlap-in-tests-and.patch
ImportError while loading conftest '/tmp/autopkgtest.67RbsE/tree/conftest.py'.
py._path.local.LocalPath.ImportMismatchError: ('conftest', '/build/python-intervaltree-bio-1.0.1/conftest.py', local('/tmp/autopkgtest.67RbsE/tree/conftest.py'))
autopkgtest [14:03:34]: test run-unit-test: -----------------------]
autopkgtest [14:03:34]: test run-unit-test:  - - - - - - - - - - results - - - - - - - - - -

But I have observed strange failures in this environment before.

Besides all this I would prefer copying the *patched* tests into the
package examples and rewrite the script in the usual manner to enable
users running the test on their local machine.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
