Package: sbuild
Version: 0.77.1-2
Severity: important
Control: fixed -1 0.73.0-4

Dear maintainer,

sbuild in stretch unconditionally invokes autopkgtest even if the file
debian/tests/control is not present in the source package.  Newer sbuild
does not invoke autopkgtest unless that file is present.

Many packages do not have debian/tests/control, and simply have a
Testsuite: field, which causes autopkgtest to invoke autodep8 to
generate an appropriate debian/tests/control.  Under stretch, such
packages test suites would be run by sbuild, but now they are not.

This seems like a regression since stretch.  Perhaps, at least, there
could be an option to revert to always invoking autopkgtest when
--run-autopkgtest is passed?  --definitely-run-autopkgtest?

Thank you.
