Bug description:
  From the failing lintian test:

  badpkg: Test Depends field contains an invalid dependency `perl (>= 5.12) | libtest-simple-perl (>= 0.93)'
  adt-run: erroneous package: Test Depends field contains an invalid dependency `perl (>= 5.12) | libtest-simple-perl (>= 0.93)'
  adt-run: trace: ** stop

  README.package-tests implies that this should be ok:

    Depends: <dpkg dependency field syntax>

      Declares that the specified packages must be installed for the
      test to go ahead.  `@' stands for the package(s) generated by the
      source package containing the tests; each dependency (strictly,
      or-clause, which may contain `|'s but not commas) containing `@'
      is replicated once for each such binary package, with the binary
      package name substituted for each `@' (but normally `@' should
      occur only once and without a version restriction).

      If no Depends field is present, `Depends: @' is assumed.  Note
      that the source tree's Build-Dependencies are _not_ necessarily
      installed, and if you specify any Depends, no binary packages from
      the source are installed unless explicitly requested.
