Please read the documentation:
https://salsa.debian.org/ci-team/autopkgtest/raw/master/doc/README.package-tests.rst

No. Only those that only have superficial tests. E.g. ruby runs the full
upstream test-suite automatically.

Superficial tests *are* neutral, so no.

No, because there are only three states. I.e. superficial and flaky and
skipped tests all end up meaning the same.

It seems you want to be processing the message field then, but honestly
if there is an entry, "test is not missing". If there is no entry, "test
is missing". Failing is "fail". flaky tests are also "test is not
missing", skipped tests are also "test is not missing". Why would you
need all those states? You have the "message" field in your UDD schema
to check why you get the neutral state.
