Supporting Testsuite is fairly easy and a good way to learn some about 
the internal of cme.

To sump it up:
- copy XS-Testsuite param in TestSuite
- existing XS-Testsuite param must become status deprecated
- setup a migrate_from attribute which copy old value from XS-Testsuite
  in Testsuite. This is very similar to the way Name is migrated to 
  Upstream-Name in copyright model [1]

Using 'config-model-edit -model Dpkg' will help in this task [2]

Is there a volunteer to try to resolve this bug ? 

All the best
