I could only find seven of them with that grep? I went through them:
libevent-rpc-perl
libgearman-client-perl
libpoe-component-server-http-perl
These three are due to #761596 (autopkgtest: overrides default SIGINT handler).
libcompress-bzip2-perl
Busy loop looking reading a non-existent file. Fixed in git, pending upload.
libmodule-util-perl
Lengthy author test that isn't run normally (and needs network access),
caused by us recursing into subdirectories under 't/'. Neither of the
normal Perl build systems (ExtUtils::MakeMaker and Module::Build) do that,
so we shouldn't either. Will be fixed in pkg-perl-tools 0.15.
libterm-title-perl
Busy loop missing user interaction due to us not setting the
AUTOMATED_TESTING environment variable. That one and NONINTERACTIVE_TESTING
will be exported in pkg-perl-tools 0.15.
libtext-bidi-perl
Genuinely lengthy tests (703963 of them!), took over seven minutes on
the amd64 buildd.
I've also made the smoke test execute test.pl in addition to t/*.t. The
implicit test generation logic in autopkgtest should do the same, at least
once pkg-perl-tools 0.15 is uploaded. This potentially affects 168 packages
that had their tests skipped until now.
