about 1% of the packages in the archive declare autopkgtest support, and
there are other packages with non declared autopkgtest support (with
bugs filed). This is, for me, evidence enough that autopkgtest is here
to stay. In turn this is for me evidence enough that autopkgtest should
be declared ACCEPTED. If that's fine with you, I'll happily do that,
massage the current text for long term preservation (e.g. by pointing at
a live version that will be updated in the future) and announce it to
-project. Comments?
