# `debian-tests-control-autodep8-is-obsolete`

The specified autopkgtest control file is considered obsolete.

Before autodep8 version 0.17 and autopkgtest version 5.7 if a maintainer wished to add tests to the set of tests generated by autodep8 they provided those tests in a file named `debian/tests/control.autodep8`.

It is now preferred to declare the additional tests in the regular `debian/tests/control` file so that `dpkg-source` can pick up the test dependencies.

When configured to run autodep8 tests, autopkgtest will run the additional tests and the autodep8 tests when `debian/control` has the proper `Testsuite: autopkgtest-*` in the source headers.

Please merge the specified file into `debian/tests/control`.

Severity: | `warning`
Experimental: | `false`
