According to pitti the "no tests found" happens often when there is a packaging bug, so a real failure. We'll need to a way around this so the system can be informed the package knowingly has no tests and therefore test runner shouldn't fail.

<Ursinha> pitti: hey :) I have a question about autopkgtest, more specifically adt-run, that you might have the answer: when a package has no tests adt-run return code is 8, is that only to create a distinction between tests that actually ran and passed and no tests found? Or is there the intention to consider lack of tests a failure?
<pitti> Ursinha: yes, we usually consider 8 a failure as way more often than not it's an unintended packaging bug
