The autopkgtest package is not meant and shouldn't be used to document the ftp-master policy. However, you can change the phrasing. E.g.: For Debian, the ftp-master have ruled that tests must not execute code they download. In particular, tests must not use external repositories to depend on software (as opposed to data) that is not in Debian. However, currently there is nothing preventing this. Do we have a link to point at? Paul
