I haven't tried this package, but in general that's as easy as

- adding xvfb, xauth to Build-Depends(-Indep)
- run the tests under xvfb-run, e.g. with a short dh(1) debian/rules
  file like:

#!/usr/bin/make -f

%:
    dh $@

override_dh_auto_test:
    xvfb-run -a dh_auto_test


(Just as a hint for whoever wants to add back one more test after the
RC bug is fixed.)


Cheers,
gregor
