Title:
  autopkgtest does not skip debian/tests/control stanzas with unknown
  fields

Status in autopkgtest package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  doc/README.package-tests.rst says:
   | Control fields
   | --------------
   | The fields which may appear in debian/tests/control stanzas are:
  ...
   | Any unknown fields will cause the whole stanza to be skipped.

  It wasn't clear how I could comment out a test.  But the above seemed like one solution.  So I tried to effectively stop a test from running until bug 1422681 in systemd/debian/control/tests by adding
    Disabled-until-bug-fixed: http://pad.lv/1422681
  to the stanza of the test I wanted to skip.

  That didn't seem to work though, the test still ran.  See ubuntu test
  run at [2].

  Its possible that I just misunderstood the doc.  but it would be nice
  to clarify that, and if there *is* a way to add comments (and thus
  comment out the tes), then that'd be nice to document too.
