Lintian report some issues:

W: debian-policy: doc-base-abstract-might-contain-extra-leading-whitespace autopkgtest:5
E: debian-policy: doc-base-file-references-missing-file autopkgtest:9 /usr/share/doc/debian-policy/package-tests.txt.gz
E: debian-policy: doc-base-file-references-missing-file autopkgtest:12 /usr/share/doc/debian-policy/package-tests.html
E: debian-policy: doc-base-file-references-missing-file autopkgtest:13 /usr/share/doc/debian-policy/package-tests.html

Also, would you mind if I converted autopkgtest.md to DebianDoc-SGML ?
I am concerned to have to deal with different quoting rules in different
files.

Yes, it would be nice to have a proper bug number to include in the changelog.
