The tests are really developer tests rather than user tests, which is 
why they're not really documented. I also don't really have a clue
what packages you need for them on debian. I can tell you the perl
modules used are:

  Apache::AuthTkt       # included in mod_auth_tkt
  Apache::Test
  Apache::TestConfig
  Apache::TestRequest
  Apache::TestUtil
  DateTime
  File::Basename
  HTTP::Cookies

Sounds like you should have most of the others, but you'll also need
LWP (libwww-perl) for HTTP::Cookies, whatever package that comes in.

You should run the tests (and configure and make) as a normal user, 
not root.

If you want to run the tests individually with more detail you can do 
so by changing to the t directory and doing e.g.

  ./TEST 01_basic.t -verbose


Cheers,
Gavin
