debian/rules is a Makefile, so I should be able to replace the simple

	     [...]

	     test:   test-stamp
	     test-stamp: build-stamp
	             -$(MAKE) check
	     	     touch test-stamp

	     [...]
	     
which something like  

	     test:   test-stamp
	     test-stamp: build-stamp
	             -$(MAKE) check > check.log
		     grep -C5 -v '^PASS:' check.log
	     	     touch test-stamp

That would save a few electrons in the stored logs.
