It seems the requirement is to still have Jessie mirrors enabled as it 
fails even when installing the packages previously mentioned. I'll 
switch to use APT-Pinning with a hybrid stable/testing distro.

Debian testing seems not to be the friendliest environment for building 
multi-dependencies binaries. Now I eventually succeeded to run the tests 
even though I have way more packages installed than I was expecting X-D.

I'll proceed writing the tests for the new API. Thanks for the support.
