This seems to be a slightly different issue. Should
autopkgtest-pkg-perl still be added to Testsuite if there are
other testsuites present, i.e. should this lintian issue still be
raised as the team/pkg-perl/testsuite/no-team-tests description
suggests if "autopkgtest-pkg-perl" is not present but some other
Testsuite setting is?

Cheers,
