Bug Description

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

As of March 29, 2017, this source package did not contain dep8 tests in
the current development release of Ubuntu, named Zesty. This was
determined by running `pull-lp-source iproute2 zesty` and then
checking for the existence of 'debian/tests/' and
'debian/tests/control'.

Test automation is essential to higher levels of quality and confidence
in updates to packages. dep8 tests [1] specify how automatic testing can
be integrated into packages and then run by package maintainers before
new uploads.

This defect is to report the absence of these tests and to report the
opportunity as a potential item for development by both new and
experienced contributors.

Hi,
I missed to realize this was an open bug in our overall dep8-missing-campaign.
I added it in [1] which is about to migrate soon.

TL;DR let the upstream testsuite run in a VM as dep8 test (has plenty of tests).

Will set this done once it is in bionic.
