Thanks.

Right.  It looks fine to me.

Please go ahead if you like.  If you don't, I will do it (before the
freeze) anyway.  If you do, please close the bug which I'm opening
with this mail.

Thanks,
Ian.

+Source package header
+---------------------
+
+To allow test execution environments to discover packages which provide tests,
+their source packages should have a `Testsuite:` header containing
+`autopkgtest` (which is currently the only defined value). Multiple values get
+comma separated, as usual in control files.
+
+This tag can be set manually in debian/control by adding
+
+    XS-Testsuite: autopkgtest
+
+in the `Source:` paragraph. Future versions of dpkg-source might add this
+automatically when a debian/tests/control file is present.
