Sure, done in git.

No, since 2.099 more values are accepted:

% grep -r nodejs
t/dpkg.t:foreach my $target (qw(elpa nodejs pif paf go dkms pouf perl python r ruby)) {
lib/Config/Model/models/Dpkg/Control/Source.pl:          '^autopkgtest(-pkg-(dkms|elpa|go|nodejs|perl|python|r|ruby))?$' => {

Or now:

% grep -r octave
t/dpkg.t:foreach my $target (qw(elpa nodejs octave pif paf go dkms pouf perl python r ruby)) {
lib/Config/Model/models/Dpkg/Control/Source.pl:          '^autopkgtest(-pkg-(dkms|elpa|go|nodejs|octave|perl|python|r|ruby))?$' => {


Cheers,
gregor, wondering if we could automate this somehow instead of
        hardcoding a list of values
