Hello, Sorry for the delayed response. Thank you for the information.
I noticed that tests available in lib/t as part of CI in build job. https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux-base/-/jobs/5886385#L918. Can you please provide your opinion on running these tests as part of autopkgtest since more Debian packages are running tests as part of autopkgtests. This could assist others with similar requirements and ensure a more thorough validation of the package. CIP (Civil Infrastructure Platform Project) aims to provide SLTS (Super Long Term Support) to selected LTS kernel and selected packages for 10+ years. Please refer CIP Wiki page https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/civilinfrastructureplatform/start#kernel_maintainership for currently supported kernels. In addition: * CIP is working for IEC-62443-4-1 & 4-2 compliance which are cybersecurity standards. CIP users can reuse IEC-62443-4-1 & 4-2 ready platform to build their own products and achieve compliance faster and with significantly less effort. * As CIP security images installs many packages to achieve IEC-62443-4-2 compliance, one of the requirements is all installed packages should have test results available. Hence we are working for it.

As this package is mostly useful during installation/upgrade/removal of kernel packages, I don't think it is needed in your images. There are some tests in lib/t but they don't cover everything. They do get run in CI. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings - Debian developer, member of kernel, installer and LTS teams
