Using ofono-phonesim and scripting the manual interactions (like
starting a call, restarting ofono) all seems like perfect a candidate
for autopkgtest (rather than a unit test, where you may not want to mess
up your dev system).

The custom patches to ofono-qt are all the more reason to migrate to
libqofono.  We have other code that is using libqofono and may benefit
from those patches, rather than just telephony-service.

Since telephony-ofono is the only rdepend of ofono-qt, moving it into
the t-ofono and dropping ofono-qt from the archive is a reasonable way
to avoid other packages depending on it once we 'bless' it.

But... that probably would make the security team's life a little harder
if/when there's a security patch.  They may not know we have an internal
copy in t-ofono, but they would notice an archive package.

Normally yes, we block needlessly duplicated libraries going into main
if we can.  It's an update and security burden (and a source of bugs
when apps don't work the same because they have different library
behaviors).

I'd be fine with promoting this in main on a temporary basis, if you
folks have a milestoned bug/plan to move everything over to libqofono.
It will be good to stop investing custom patches into a dead-end
library.

But no tests as well?  Is there not even a subset of tests that don't
require manual interaction that we can run, under phonesim as necessary?
Not having automated tests seems like a disaster waiting to happen, and
we have better standards in Touch than that.
