Thanks so much for adding this!

One issue:

+* The `gtk+3.0 tests`_ do two things: firstly they run the upstream 
+ test-suite as part of ``autopkgtest``. Secondly they execute a python
+ program using ``xvfb`` to emulate a running X session.

That's not quite true, the upstream tests are currently only run during package 
build. Somethign like this:

 * The `gtk+3.0 tests`_ also do a compile/link/run check in the "build" test. 
There is an additional "python3-gi" test which verifies that the GTK library 
can also be used through introspection.

+While Debian does not have an automatic testing infrastructure set up yet, it
+makes a lot of sense to forward ``autopkgtest`` changes to Debian as well.

Perhaps "... yet, they should still be submitted to Debian, as DEP-8 is a 
Debian specification and Debian developers or users can still manually run the 
tests."
