I uploaded 3.1.0-1 and later added an autopkgtest in 3.1.0-2.

Can you give me a reference for this rule? We had a discussion about this
point when I did 2.1, and the way I did it now, was the suggested way at
the time.

For 2.1 I got a reject because of missing license entries, but not
because of the main/contrib mixing.

No idea how I could save time by getting a rejection :)

Best,
