Wrapping up the discussion we've just had on #debian-qa, looking only at
the headers massively underestimate the number of available autopkgtest
test suites. Jakub's method posted earlier in this thread reveals 68
packages (thanks Jakub!).

I've just submitted a bug report against lintian to add a check to
encourage people adding the Testsuite header, see:

  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=692282

The bug report also contains the current list of packages with
autopkgtest, according to Content.  I'll propose a wishlist M-B-F to add
the missing headers.  For Jenkins integration, I suggest to rely on the
header even if it is currently under used; I'd rather fix the
corresponding bugs than working around them relying on Content.

Cheers.
