Bug Description

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

As of March 29, 2017, this source package did not contain dep8 tests in
the current development release of Ubuntu, named Zesty. This was
determined by running `pull-lp-source libapache2-reload-perl zesty` and then
checking for the existence of 'debian/tests/' and
'debian/tests/control'.

Test automation is essential to higher levels of quality and confidence
in updates to packages. dep8 tests [1] specify how automatic testing can
be integrated into packages and then run by package maintainers before
new uploads.

This defect is to report the absence of these tests and to report the
opportunity as a potential item for development by both new and
experienced contributors.

This check is incomplete for perl packages, the usually just have
"Testsuite: autopkgtest-pkg-perl"
in the source stanza of debian/control.
Cf. https://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/autopkgtest.html

Besides that, most perl packages can be autotested even without this field in debian/control, cf. autodep8, and https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/debian-ci-config.git/tree/cookbooks/debci/files/default/whitelist-perl.txt

This is not the case for libapache2-reload-perl which needs some manual work.
I've now pushed a commit enabling (parts of) the autopkgtest-pkg-perl tests:

Cheers,

gregor - thank you for the hint about perl testsuite! I will add a check for that. I plan to re-run today/Monday and try to go through and update a few of defects.

And thank you for enabling some of the tests!
