[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#1069727: libsequoia-octopus-librnp: Thunderbird integration autopkgtests

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor]

Package: libsequoia-octopus-librnp
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: Daniel Kahn Gillmor <dkg at fifthhorseman.net>

the octopus has a simple, superficial autopkgtest, which just confirms
that the library has the expected symbols.

It would be great to have an autopkgtest that confirms that it actually
interoperates with Thunderbird as expected.

For example, such a test might:

- set up a bogus, local-only MTA

- configure two Thunderbird profiles with OpenPGP to talk to that MTA

- send an mail from profile A to profle B, including the OpenPGP cert
  for A
  
- read the mail on profile B, and reply with a signed-and-encrypted mail
  to A.

- read the cleartext message with profile A.

Perhaps upstream could help us assemble a comparable test that would run
reliably in ci.debian.org.
