autopkgtest - automated package testing

[Raphaël Pinson]

Hi Ian,

It is great to have such a tool being developed.
I had been working some time ago on a set of bash tools called revu-tools,
which was originally developed for the REVU Q&A system for universe
packages.

Maybe some of the things in it could be used for autopkgtest.

If you have any question about it, please contact me :)


Regards,

Raphaël
