Source header field indeed could have helped to locate the packages with tests regardless of their origin. > I'm not going to pollute my .dsc with this metadata. my 0.1 cent: IMHO immediate use for "Testsuite:" would become more adequate if multiple formal ways to run testsuites becomes available. But either should it be added manually ATM -- as DEP-8 suggests, that field might be added automagically in the future by dpkg-source... it might be the cleanest long-term solution. -- Yaroslav O.
