Hi.

This fails when using the nocheck build profile because the file
"test.dat.igzip" is not generated when DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck,
so there is nothing to move and the "mv" command fails.

However, this suggests that the file is only used for testing but not
for normal operation of this python module.

If that's the case, I would just omit the file from the package,
as in the attached patch.

Note also that the old code only worked ok when python3.13 was the
only python flavor. Now that we have 3.13 and 3.14, we can see
that the code was not future-proof. The attached patch uses a wildcard
and should work regardless of available python flavors.

Thanks.
