What is this foo package you keep talking about?
I know of lintian, linda, puiparts, but not foo.
And pbuilder.
What I mean, the set of automated tools to run is common to every
package tested at a given time. Rare or specialized tools do exist,
but I haven't heard of them being used around d-m these days.
At this time, the fashion^Wcommon practice is to run:
* lintian
* linda
* pbuilder
* piuparts
and there is hardly ever any reason to skip any of them, so it can be
generally assumed that if a metasyntactic variable is used, it's used
as an abbreviation for all four.
