Yes, that's correct. But I'm still reluctant to ensure that a part of the infrastructure is possibly not testable on all platforms due to some obscure bug in the toolchain that would get unoticed until we need the testing program. Moreover, there is a new debian toy allowing to write tests that are run on the installed package (not in the source tree) to increase the software quality. I'm not using it yet, but I'd prefer not to do anything that would prevent this to happen without a reason. And you didn't tell us what the benefit of this tool would be for quilt, or did I miss something maybe?
