Álvaro> I think running tests is cool for the packaging process,
but is this needed for packaging? I mean, it's upstream who should run
them before releasing versions, right? :)

If you pick "upstream build artifact", you know it is tested.
If you use custom-made-kludge-patched build process, you'd better test
that new artifact before use.
It can easily fail in a unexpected way. For instance: not all ${...}
being replaced, not all the classes present, missing translations,
etc, etc.

Nothing personal. Just facts.
