Lintian tag: debian-tests-control-autodep8-is-obsolete

Type: warning

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

The specified autopkgtest control file is considered obsolete.

Before autodep8 version 0.17 and autopkgtest version 5.7 if a maintainer
wished to add tests to the set of tests generated by autodep8 they
provided those tests in a file named debian/tests/control.autodep8.

It is now preferred to declare the additional tests in the regular
debian/tests/control file so that dpkg-source can pick up the test
dependencies.

When configured to run autodep8 tests, autopkgtest will run the additional
tests and the autodep8 tests when debian/control has the proper Testsuite:
autopkgtest-* in the source headers.

Please merge the specified file into debian/tests/control.

Please refer to the autodep8(1) manual page for details.
