This doesn't directly answer your question (sorry), but you might also
be interested in sadt --- "simple DEP-8 test runner" --- by Jakub Wilk,
which has recently joined the devscripts happy bunch. Just install
devscripts (>= 2.14.1, currently in unstable only) and have a look at
man 1 sadt.

Cheers.
