Bug#1088243: libgcrypt20: please add a superficial autopkgtest

[Simon McVittie]

Source: libgcrypt20
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Packaging a shared library involves various annoying subtleties which
are easy to get wrong, and surprisingly often they can be detected and
avoided by a superficial autopkgtest that links an almost-trivial program
to the library under test.

I attach a simple implementation of this, which I found useful while
adjusting the packaging of libgcrypt20 in the Steam Runtime, a
Debian-derived container used to run games on Linux.

(For testing/unstable you might prefer to replace references to
pkg-config with pkgconf; the attached version is more backportable.)

Thanks,
