Hi Niels, Some quick answers.

I agree with Richard here in the sense that the documentation could be more explicit on what is "sufficiently powerful" by means of examples.
It means that if you have added the isolation-container or isolation-machine restriction and the testbed doesn't provide that, the test will be skipped.
Re: @recommends
The text about @recommends@ is right below the text about @builddeps@ and it even explicitly mentions debian/control, so I was hoping it's clear it's debian/control that's being read here.I have to agree with Richard here. A binary package (.deb) never has substitution variables and the text is phrased as if autopkgtests reads the Recommends from the .deb (or a Packages file, but that is basically the same as far as substitution variables go). So what exactly is being stripped here?
