I have not looked at the code, but I believe that autopkgtest invokes autodep8 when there is no debian/tests/control. autodep8 then makes its own decision about whether to generate a debian/tests/control to pass back to autopkgtest. The reason I believe this is that with older sbuild, when there is no d/tests/control, autopkgtest successfully runs the test suite. So it must be that it is invoking autodep8. -- Sean Whitton
