I don't think it is mass practice to have this in debian/rules. I've
grepped through all group's packages and found only 36 debian/rules

Is this because only 36 packages have those tests enabled, or is it because the other packages do not skip any tests based on that variable?
I'd be more interested in a number like: there are X packages for which AUTOMATED_TESTING is disabled, and where tests are skipped as a result. Then we could also look at whether those tests were explicitly disabled because they weren't passing/were really author tests (in which case, you are correct, the upstream package is buggy anyway).
