Bug#1032567:

[Yangfl]

I'm aware that autopkgtests do not test the final package, but clearly
they do not provide test cases other than unit tests. If this is not a
feasible way, better to remove autopkgtests completely.

I agree that it is not the intention of autopkgtest to (re)run unit tests.
Said that, I disagree on the severity: It is still better than having no tests, 
as they
will be able to detect some issue, e.g if some reverse depenency breaks stuff.
The tests could be marked supeeficious, maybe…

s390x is in state "uncompiled", so s390x issues does not make this bug RC 
either.

Cheers,

Version: 16.4-1.1
Severity: serious

Hello, the ddnet autopkgtests are not currently testing the installed package, 
but rather doing some sort of testsuite on source directory. This makes the 
test fail on s390x, rather than test not being run due to it being not built 
from source.
