Dear maintainer, wxpython4.0 has a package relationship with python3-numpy (either a Depends/Recommends/Suggests or a build-time dependency) but doesn't defineany autopkgtests. Autopkgtests allow for automation to verify reverse-dependencies are still working and/or building properly after a package is uploaded, and are helpful in preventing a package from migrating to testing if they break other packages. For these reasons, please add "meaningful" autopkgtests to this package, which usually means running the upstream unittests. Further information can be found at: * https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/autopkgtest/autopkgtest.1.en.html * https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/dh-python/pybuild-autopkgtest.1.en.html Thanks!

Hi Sandro, I do plan to enable wxPython's unittests eventually. However, they are currently unreliable/flaky, so that problem needs to be resolved first. Do note that wxPython's use of numpy is very minimal (it's only used by a few of the pure-python classes), so wxPython's unittests would not add a lot of meaningful test converage for numpy.
