We used to have debian-test, which is now removed from
Debian archive.


Learning from that experience, there needs to be some kind of 
policy on tests.

Some debian-test scripts had dependency on maintainer machines
(like IP address and directory structures), and 
sometimes it's difficult to make a portable assumption about
these, while it is requisite for a test to run.
