OK, so I'd like to propose an alternative that may help both of us:

Could we do the check after the make integrate phase (e.g. a make check
new order) that would have to be called in the context of tar.gz install
(by Creating a cheked dummy file in the tree, that could be verified
before running anything). If there go on, if not, emit a warning rather
than running with CGI-Carp or something like that.

Of course that file could be touched by the spec/rules files to avoid
problems.

WDYT ?

Nearly ;-) And I still have problems for the .deb, partly because of the
lack of changelog files.
