According to the autopkgtest specification: maybe, but not necessarily. https://salsa.debian.org/ci-team/autopkgtest/raw/master/doc/README.package-tests.rst (the title of the last section is "Network Access") > At the very least, I'd require a "restriction" to be set -- autopkgtest > has a system for facets like this, it'd be a good fit here. It's been proposed in the past, but the autopkgtest maintainers considered and rejected it. <https://bugs.debian.org/801895> <https://bugs.debian.org/851556> Maybe "Features: works-offline" (with the opposite meaning) would be another way to represent this? game-data-packager (in contrib) is an example of a package that tries to test itself by downloading non-Free data from the internet, although it looks like it currently skips the relevant test on ci.debian.net because the testbed doesn't have the freedesktop.org DOWNLOADS directory (usually ~/Downloads) configured. smcv
