Package: autopkgtest
Description: automatic as-installed testing for Debian packages
 autopkgtest runs tests on binary packages.  The tests are run on the
 package as installed on a testbed system (which may be found via a
 virtualisation or containment system).  The tests are expected to be
 supplied in the corresponding Debian source package.
 .
 See adt-run(1) and /usr/share/doc/autopkgtest.
 Use of adt-virt-xenlvm requires the autopkgtest-xenlvm package too;
 Use of the pre-cooked adt-testreport-onepackage script requires curl.


I'm happy that you like piuparts, but it's not the best tool for 
everything :-)

cheers,
	Holger
