Bug#978684: autopkgtest should test the installed package

[David Prévot]

Source: apk-parser
Severity: serious

Hi,

As pointed in the see autopkgtest specification [1] linked from the
release team documentation [2] “the tests must test the *installed*
version of the package”. The autopkgtest from this package only uses the
source package, and as such violates the specification. Displaying it as
an example in the wiki [3] may not be advisable.

Regards

David
