Hi Martin,

Thanks for your prompt reaction.  Just one comment:

I may be getting it wrong, but the commit that you indicate above still 
preserves the phrase "which is currently the only defined value".  This 
is the inaccuracy that was referring to in my original bug report. 
Currently, autodep8 accepts the following values for the Testsuite field:

  autopkgtest
  autopkgtest-pkg-dkms
  autopkgtest-pkg-go
  autopkgtest-pkg-nodejs
  autopkgtest-pkg-octave
  autopkgtest-pkg-perl
  autopkgtest-pkg-python
  autopkgtest-pkg-r
  autopkgtest-pkg-ruby
  autopkgtest-pkg-elpa

Best,

Rafael
