Package: lintian Version: 2.5.39.1 Severity: normal With python-django 1.9-2 I get those tags: I: python-django source: runtime-test-file-is-not-a-regular-file debian/tests/django-admin-py3 I: python-django source: runtime-test-file-is-not-a-regular-file debian/tests/test-suite-py3
Both files are symlinks to another script (which is a regular file) in the same directory. autopkgtest works perfectly well with such test files... thus you should not trigger the tag in this case. I'm using a symlink as a way to share a script to be run under two different environments. In my case once with Python 2 and once with Python 3 (as the -py3 suffix suggests).
