Nothing will fail inside the build chroot, since as you said, these are already installed via (host)makedepends. That's precisely the issue I am worried about.

The only easy way I see is to have a separate meta package to test sagemath, with a checkdepends on sagemath, which runs the sagemath testsuite (on the installed package).
