This is the document I have been working off:

No, it doesn't have anything to do with the debs. I was just trying to 
run the numerical tests that the program has builtin from somewhere, and 
was told this was the latest and greatest method.

As the packager and upstream, I don't have the capability of writing a 
full GUI test harness to do this. I think it is probably easiest to 
remove autopkgtest. I'll revisit this when autopkgtest is a little more 
mature.

Thanks.
