Right. env-smoke helped me in one situation (although setting HOME=$ADTTMP felt a bit odd, and could be done by the test scripts) but I didn't succeed with one of the *apache* packages. > While I'd love to keep the stuff in debian/tests/pkg-perl declarative, > there's a point of diminishing returns with adding special cases.

I agree that we'll need something executable if we want to run all tests everywhere. I guess this is a question of trade-offs between running more tests and adding more complexity. Not sure yet which side I'm on :) Cheers, gregor -- .''`.
