... exactly. test/ to me looks like the Debian apt developer's graveyard
of "dead code" ...

Anyway, ... below is patch I mentioned above.

3 programs are being built by default, all others are implemented as
EXTRA_PROGRAMS, i.e. they are not being built by default, only if
explicitly requested "make <program>"

None of them currently build. IMO, they ether should be adapted to
apt-rpm, be re-written to use a common "deb/rpm" API, or be removed.

After applying the patch:
svn add test/Makefile.am test/Makefile.in
svn rm test/makefile
