Debian policy says the same [1]:

5.6.30. Testsuite

Simple field containing a comma-separated list of values allowing test
execution environments to discover packages which provide tests.

This field is automatically added to Debian source control files (.dsc)
by dpkg, with the value autopkgtest, when a debian/tests/control file is
present in the source package. This field may also be used in source
package control files (debian/control) if needed in other situations.
