Package: pkg-perl-autopkgtest
Version: 0.27
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

As a last resort, a packager can include a debian/tests/pkg-perl/smoke-setup 
script to perform any necessary setup before tests are run. However, there is 
no equivalent 'smoke-cleanup' script to tidyup after tests have completed. For 
example, if smoke-setup starts a service, one would expect smoke-cleanup to 
stop it.

Please see [0] for an example of a package where this would be useful.

Thank you.
