FWIW, with the just-merged series, if you follow the new instructions
in the README.md for Debian, you should be able to successfully build
and run the testsuite on Debian stable and unstable (also worked for
me on Ubuntu 20.04 aside from needing to obtain libbpf from upstream
since it isn't packaged for Ubuntu).  The default policy still has
some issues (e.g. don't try to use GNOME in enforcing mode) but if you
can login as an unconfined user and setenforce 1 via text console or
ssh login, you should be able to run the testsuite.
