Ah. So these would indeed run against the build tree then.

Ideally you'd replace it with at least a quick smoke test that the
package works. That's probably not too easy to do for a graphical
program like owncloud, though; if it has anything you can do at the
command line, the test could of course install owncloud, put a file in
it, and try to download it with owncloud-client or so.

If that's too impractical, then removing the autopkgtest sounds okay,
too.

Thanks,

Martin
