They are unit tests for the Perl library that's part of linux-base, and are run during every build (unless the "nocheck" build profile is used). I don't think running them again through autopkgtests would improve validation. If you could contribute autopkgtest test cases for the *commands* in linux-base, that would actually improve validation of the package and I would appreciate that.
