Dear Maintainer,

AFAICT, if you specify a test with Test-Command: there's no way to
select it with `autopkgtest --testname`.  A couple of thoughts:

* Allow Tests: and Test-Command: to coexist.  In such a case, the
  Tests: field would be used for --testname matching while the actual
  tests would run from Test-Command:
  
* Add a Test-Name: field solely for the purpose of matching
  --testname.  Of course if Test-Name doesn't exist, it would fall
  back to matching on Tests:
  
* Allow --testname to match on patterns.  Thus if I had a stanza that
  looked like:
  
  Test-Command: tox -e qa
  Depends: @builddeps@, git
  
  I could run that with --testname=qa

Other thoughts of course welcome!  Or did I miss something?
