Lintian is already aware of this, as mentioned by Niels:
http://lintian.debian.org/tags/inconsistent-testsuite-field.html
but the tag is currently not a warning. Did you mean to suggest that we
ask the lintian maintainers to promote that tag to an actual warning?
FWIW, I'd welcome that.
Regarding the MBF, I didn't mean to propose another one. I was merely
pointing to the old one to observe its evolution over time.
Cheers.
