Trouble building Debian package as there are no test available

[gregoo]

Environnement: Debian 7.10 + Sloppy backports (for dh-virtualenv package, 0.10-1~bpo70+1) + libffi-dev required for building as well

At the end of ./build_deb.sh, dh-virtualenv (which is ran by dpkg-buildpackage) tries to launch the tests (setup.py test) but there aren't any and the command exits with a non-zero return code, thus aborting the build process.

Adding --no-test to debian/rules seems to solve the problem

$ cat debian/rules
#!/usr/bin/make -f

%:
        dh $@ --with python-virtualenv --no-test
