package: autopkgtest
version: 5.55

The man-page entry for  --override-control=PATH doesnt say that PATH
is on the host, and not in the chroot. This is not obvious - i was
assuming it would be in the chroot, before unpacking, but it seems to
be on the host.

A small addition like

 - Read the test metadata from PATH instead of debian/tests/control.
 + Read the test metadata from PATH (on the host) instead of
debian/tests/control.

would help the user, even better would be to explain what PATH is /
what it is relative to.
