As a fun fact, pbuilder contains a script to run DEP-8-like tests since
0.128 (~=2005) !
It's a hook called B92test-pkg.  It releys on a debian/pbuilder-test/
directory containing a set of scripts to be run.  Clearly this is
somewhat superseed, I'll file patched bugs to the packages using them
(yes, there are some!) to migrate to autopkgtest.

Yeah, sure thing! :D

But I'm sorry, for me is a "for this guy different than myself is ok" is
not enough to include the file with a changed license (and I'd rather
not add a file with a different license).

@myon: can you please drop here a comment? :)

After this I'll commit it, with some minor changes (like using
BUILDDIR instead of /tmp/buildd and changing indentation to appease me
more).
