I see you enabled the tests during build; the problem here is that
the tests write to the home directory, which is not allowed during
package build (see a recent thread on debian-devel about that),
and sbuild enforces that by setting the home directory of the
sbuild user to something like /non-existent.

You can manually set the HOME environment variable during testing
to override that with a temporarily created directory.

I've attached a git patch against your current packaging (you can
use git am to apply it) that does just this. I've tried building
it in sbuild -d unstable and it works - and the tests pass.

Hope that helps.

Regards,
Christian
