Test data for every package would be different, so even if you want to work on them together,
you will have to seek test data for each, unless one test data works for all of these which I doubt.

I'd suggest taking one step at a time.

I was thinking of using a small sample .fasta file (http://prodata.swmed.edu/promals/info/fasta_format_file_example.htm <http://prodata.swmed.edu/promals/info/fasta_format_file_example.htm>) to produce known output. I would then use that known output as the "control" for autopkgtest validation. Do you agree with this approach?

That should be OK, but if and only if the data you pointed to is available in the free domain.

PS: bug reporters do not get reply-emails to their reports in their maibox automatically, hence please explicitly
CC me from next time if you want me to read your emails.

Thanks for chiming in!
