Hi Pierre ,
Thank you for reviewing the autopkgtest I added for the king package.
Regarding the suggestion to replace the command java -jar 
/usr/share/java/king.jar  with /usr/bin/king, I checked the situation. The 
/usr/bin/king    path is currently just a symlink to    
/usr/share/java/king.jar.  Since this is a Java Archive  file and not an 
executable, it cannot be run directly. Trying to execute     /usr/bin/king  
gives an error that says it could not find an interpreter, because there is no 
wrapper script or binary to handle it.
Regarding the restriction marked as "superficial," I understand that removing 
it would allow for a more complete test. However, king is a graphical 
application that requires X11 to work, and running the test without a virtual 
display setup causes errors because it tries to open a window. In my setup, I 
am running the test inside a schroot environment, which does not provide 
display authorization, so the test cannot access the X11 display.
Could you please suggest how I should proceed?

I will verify the license of example.kin and update debian/copyright 
accordingly.
Regards,Harish

Thanks a lot for improving the king package!

I am quite confident the ``superficial'' restriction can be removed: a 
classic king input file is read and treated, also the test invokes java, 
which supposes the command line is correctly read...
You could try to invoke ``king'' instead of ``java -jar 
/usr/share/java/king.jar'' to also test the file we ship in /usr/bin.

But what about the license of the example.kin file you shipped in 
debian/tests? Certainly this should be clarified and then the package 
will be fit IMO.
