Hi Jonas,

Actually, it looks like DEB_ENABLE_TESTS=yes had been broken in 
haskell-devscripts for quite some time (even before Felix's changes).  If 
you look at the January build log for haskell-swish, the tests were not 
run at that time.  In the case of haskell-swish, DEB_ENABLE_TESTS needs to 
be defined *before* including hlibrary.mk.  After fixing that, it seems 
there are some missing test dependencies.
