Thank you so much for your help! And your patience!! :)

Yes, you are absolutely right. It took a while but finally the actual way autopkgtest is working has started to 'sink in'

I added also the second test needed , please let me know if that is what you had in mind!
If there is another package that urgently needs an autopkgtest let me know, i am open to suggestions
!
Otherwise i was thinking to have my next try with mac package (bug n. 879622)
Thank you again!
Kind regards,
Kate
