Hey Jerome, there are a few nuances with the sage testing process.

The doctest examples are read directly from sage/src/sage. If you edit a test case, you don't need to run the steps that Tobias mentioned.

However the actual sage code is run from the "installed copy" in debian/build/usr/lib/blah blah blah. So if you edit Sage code (i.e. outside of the docstrings) then you'll need to reinstall to debian/build.

Tobias' way might work, but if you have trouble with it, what I normally do is force debhelper to do a rebuild:

$ for i in debian/*.debhelper.log; do sed -i -e '/dh_auto_build/d' $i; done
$ DEB_BUILD_PROFILES=pkg.sagemath.ccache DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="nodoc nocheck" debian/rules build
# ^ if you are impatient you can even ctrl-C this after setup.py finishes the "copying to debian/build" step
$ ( cd sage; ./sage -t -d --long src/sage/interfaces/gap.py )

Something like this... it should only recompile the affected files.
