They are unit tests for the Perl library that's part of linux-base, and
are run during every build (unless the "nocheck" build profile is
used).  I don't think running them again through autopkgtests would
improve validation.

If you could contribute autopkgtest test cases for the *commands* in
linux-base, that would actually improve validation of the package and I
would appreciate that.
