-### Packaging Test Layouts
-
-- Debian `pybuild` runs copied tests from a nested `.pybuild/.../build` tree
-  and may omit top-level source directories such as `config/`.
-- Tests that inspect source resources must locate them by walking upward from
-  the resolved test path; do not assume a fixed `Path(__file__).parents[N]`.
-- Packaging-sensitive test changes should be checked from both the source tree
-  and a representative nested build directory under `/tmp`.
