Yes, for instance in an extra binary package. While we could even run<br>
autopkgtest inside a compiled source tree I personally prefer to ship<br>
every tool inside some binary Debian package to enable users reproducing<br>
the test results on their installation.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Yes, this makes sense.
