Public bug reported:
The libtest-requiresinternet-perl package uses the generic pkg-perl-
autopkgtest harness, which tests that the module can be imported with no
errors and no output.
The Test::RequiresInternet perl module, on import, immediately checks
that it can reach www.google.com, and if it can't, it outputs an error.
This is not an appropriate thing for a package to be doing in its
autopkgtest test suite. The test runners are not guaranteed to have an
(unfirewalled) Internet connection, and the package test should not
depend on the Internet being reachable.
** Affects: libtest-requiresinternet-perl (Ubuntu)
