 After a successful build, you can run individual tests as follows. First, make
 sure you're in the top-level package directory, where debian/ is. Then:
 
- $ export SAGE_ROOT=$PWD/sage
- $ export SAGE_SPKG_INST=$PWD/sage/local/var/lib/sage/installed
  $ export SAGE_LOCAL=$PWD/debian/build/usr
  $ export PYTHONPATH=$SAGE_LOCAL/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
