Package: thunderbird
Version: 1:102.1.2-1
Severity: wishlist
Control: affects -1 + libsequoia-octopus-librnp librnp0

In packaging libsequoia-octopus-librnp, i realize that i want to be able
to run some tests on it.

upstream, that project uses something like this to test whether it is
working as expected:

    ./mach test --headless comm/mail/extensions/openpgp/test 
mail/test/browser/openpgp

(see for example
https://gitlab.com/sequoia-pgp/sequoia-octopus-librnp/-/blob/main/.gitlab-ci.yml#L228
)

i'd like to do something like that with the autopkgtest for the debian
package, but to do that i'd need to have the mach utility (i think it's
python?) available, and i'd also need to have access to the test code.

I suppose the autopkgtest could do this by fetching the source for
thunderbird directly, but it'd be easier to do so if there was a binary
package that contained these pieces of infrastructure as shipped
directly from the thunderbird source.  That way, the autopkgtest could
be run automatically against the octopus whenenver thunderbird was
updated.

let me know if this needs any clarification!
