Package: lintian Version: 2.5.10.2 Severity: wishlist [ context is https://lists.debian.org/debian-qa/2012/11/msg00009.html where we are discussing the integration of autopkgtest runs with the new jenkins.debian.net service ]
For discoverability, packages shipping tests for the autopkgtest testing framework [1] should declare their presence using an "XS-Testsuite: autopkgtest" header in debian/control (see last section of [2]). At present, only 3 packages in sid/main have that header [3], whereas 68 packages have a debian/tests/control file [4]. Can you please add a lintian test that will warn if a debian/tests/control file exists, but no "XS-Testsuite: autopkgtest" header is present in the source stanza of debian/control ? I'll propose a wishlist mass-bug-filing to fix the packages already in the archive, but the test would be nice to both avoid the problem in the future, and more easily quantify its presence in the archive. Thanks for maintaining lintian! Cheers.
