Well, you're pushing at an open door with me with the "patches welcome" call to arms :) But is there not value to even the smallest test here? I've caught a ludicrous number of idiotic mistakes in my packages and code in general with even the dumbest of "smoke" tests. Indeed, the return-on-investment versus clever tests is often scary and that's before we start trading clichés such as "the perfect is the enemy of the good" etc. etc. > https://ci.debian.net/status/ (I note that these are statistics about packages that actually have tests.)
