That's great, I've just subscribed to it. > I've set the maintainer for the autopkgtest package to the devel list, > with just myself in the uploaders for now.

During DebConf11 we've had a BoF covering various Debian-related testing topics [1], including autopkgtest. But beside the talking, the big news is that Ian has hacked quite a bit on autopkgtest itself and removed all the bitrot accumulated over the years. It's now usable and people can play with it. For the related specs, people can look at the package documentation or at <http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep8/>. The next big enabler we now need to make people use it is a machine periodically running tests of packages available in the archive. I've hardware available for that, but I could use some help from an interested devop to set it up. Cheers.
