Public bug reported:

>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

lintian/ARCH=i386,label=adt/6/console

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.
