It means that if you have added the isolation-container or 
isolation-machine restriction and the testbed doesn't provide that, the 
test will be skipped.

The text about @recommends@ is right below the text about @builddeps@ 
and it even explicitly mentions debian/control, so I was hoping it's 
clear it's debian/control that's being read here.
