Bug#1123548: lintian: check validity of autopkgtest Architecture field
Source: lintian
Version: 2.127.0
Severity: wishlist
Dear Lintian Maintainers
I've seen more than one package that had
Architecture: [!armhf]
and similar, in debian/tests/control.
This syntax is invalid, and causes the affected test not to be run on
any architecture. Unfortunately, this seems to make the tests pass as
the maintainer intended, and goes unnoticed.
Please add a Lintian check for the autopkgtest Architecture field.
Regards
Graham
PS: I noticed a similar bug #1012235 already filed. Perhaps these
bugs should be merged into some general validity checks of
/debian/tests/control
