Looking for the "autopkgtest" tag in the "Testsuite:" field of the source package entry in Sources, see: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=autopkgtest/autopkgtest.git;a=blob_plain;f=doc/README.package-tests;hb=HEAD (which is references from http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep8/ , who might be easier to remember as a mnemonic). Of, if you've a lintian lab or equivalent, grep debian/control for (checking for word boundaries around "autopkgtest" would be better): XS-Testsuite: autopkgtest A sample package is postgresql: zack@usha:/tmp$ apt-cache showsrc postgresql | grep Testsuite Testsuite: autopkgtest There aren't that many packages in the Debian archive with autopkgtest tests. On my machine I obtain only ~10 packages with the following: $ grep-dctrl -s Package,Testsuite,Version -F Testsuite autopkgtest /var/lib/apt/lists/*Sources but hopefully it will increase thanks to this new test runner!
