I found a few oddities:

1)  The validator for HEAD fink now complains about a missing
TestScript in any .info without an InfoTest field:

$ fink validate /sw/fink/10.4/local/injected/finkinfo/fink.info
Validating package file /sw/fink/10.4/local/injected/finkinfo/fink.info...
Use of uninitialized value in split at /sw/lib/perl5/Fink/Services.pm line 170.
Error: Required field "testscript" missing from InfoTest. (fink.info)
Warning: Description contains package name. (fink.info)

2)  It looks like you can put fields inside an InfoTest block that
shouldn't be there and the package will validate, e.g. a valid
Splitoff or another InfoTest block. (I didn't try to build the package
with these in place).
