[Bug 1347958] Re: Minor inconsistency in d/tests/control format

[Martin Pitt]

Indeed, this annoyed me as well, yay for keeping backwards compatibility
and historical errors. But I suppose Tests/Restrictions/etc. should just
accept either (space or comma or both), as in all those fields we only
need to recognize single words.

Title:
  Minor inconsistency in d/tests/control format

Status in “autopkgtest” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  It's only a minor inconsistency, but I find it a little strange that
  items in the Tests: and Restrictions: headers are space separated, but
  items in the Depends: are comma separated.

  I was faced with this when I accidentally comma separated the
  Restrictions field for one of my tests, e.g.:

  Restrictions: isolation-container, allow-stderr

  and adt-run did not run the test.  It also didn't tell me that it was
  skipping the test or why it was skipping it; it was just silently
  skipping it.  Once I removed the comma, the test was run.
