Package: autopkgtest
Version: 4.4
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
In file doc/README.package-tests.rst, there is this sentence:
To allow test execution environments to discover packages which
provide tests, their source packages need to have a ``Testsuite:``
header containing ``autopkgtest`` (which is currently the only
defined value).
This was true in 2014, before the autodep8 pacakge started introducing
the autopkgtest-pkg-* values. The statement is innacurate today.
One of the reasons it is a good idea to reformulate the sentence is to
avoid the confusion that it caused to the Lintian maintainers (see
https://bugs.debian.org/876003).
Best,
Rafael Laboissière
