Normally when I learn of packages that try to migrate to testing with superficial tests not marked as such I would add a manual block. Maybe I'll see if I can generate such a list for all autopkgtest-pkg-r using packages (without bioc in the name). Thanks for letting us know. And yes, please fix this. While typing this, I have one suggestion, we should make autopkgtest-pkg-r skippable and pkg-r-autopkgtest should exit 77 if there's no hook nor any tests to run (and without bioc currently). The overall result of skipped tests is equal to successful tests marked as superficial. I believe we can/could/should very well do that now in the freeze, after we fix autodep8. What do you think?
