It is in multiverse: http://packages.ubuntu.com/yakkety/libtestu01-0-dev

Unsurprisingly, it is also in debian. However, my fork at https://github.com/quinoacomputing/TestU01-threadsafe makes it thread-safe, which is crucial for the way I'm using it, i.e., quinoa will fail to build without it. I believe the changes to enable thread-safety were at https://github.com/quinoacomputing/TestU01-threadsafe/commit/8e1966763380c80deec0b20792c40a456cd46f78, and I have communicated this to the original author back in February 2014, who replied that

I will look at it when time permits.

but I don't think these changes have been added to the official release yet. I also changed a bunch of other minor stuff, e.g., added CMakeLists.txt, etc. See the list of commits.

So unitl the upstream has these changes, we have to use my fork.

@jgmbenoit: could you include these patches in the debian package?

Right now I cannot tell because I am middle of something. Please submit a report bug: you are very lucky that I caught this.

Looking at the differences and debian also carries a couple of packages: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/t/testu01/testu01_1.2.3+ds-2.debian.tar.xz
