You are right! The tag is issued when 'Testsuite: autopkgtest' was declared in d/control but no d/tests/control is present. [1] It should arguably be an error instead of info. [2] Lintian does not currently complain when no test suite is present. As you noted, some sources like GNOME shell extensions are essentially impossible to test. Also, some long-time contributors reportedly dislike autopkgtest. Either way, the project relies here on the fact that having a meaningful testsuite may provide a faster migration from unstable to testing.
