Librosa on Debian!

Hello Librosa developers!

It is with great joy that I would like to inform you that as a Debian/Ubuntu package maintainer I am working to place Librosa in the official repositories of these two distributions.

However, I noticed that the /tests/data directory is a link that points to another repository external to the Liborsa package.

Due to the dimensions of the Librosa project, and considering that Debian periodically runs regression/reproducibility tests, aiming to maintain the integrity of the code due to the various updates that cross-dependencies and the language itself, in this case Python, undergo, and taking into account that this directory is crucial for running the tests, I come to ask:

Would there be any possibility of this directory https://github.com/librosa/librosa-test-data/tree/72bd79e448829187f6336818b3f6bdc2c2ae8f5a be incorporated into the project?

I ask this for two reasons: First, I cannot introduce anything external to the package, thus preserving the integrity of the code. Even if in some way, this directory is part of the project.

And also because the repository where the files used to run the tests are not licensed.

Grateful!
